figgy Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Unless your going to use a single cutting tool you need to know how many lines per inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsDad Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 If its just a clean-up, refreshing job, get a single line cutter from these people. Either make or buy your own handle and shaft to hold the cutter. https://www.peterdyson.co.uk/acatalog/CHEQUERING_TOOLS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabbers Posted October 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 They are pretty near me, I'll see if I can call in and match the stock to the tools, thanks for the information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moongeese Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Normal chequering is 22 or 24 to the one inch. Don't think you can buy a tool and made a tidy job, it takes a lot of practice , and skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficulty and skill comes in when you're starting from scratch and having to set out on plain wood. OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Recutting someone else’s work is harder than starting a fresh. Repointing can go either way depends how straight the other blokes straight was imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
