        <title>how to cut grooves for a Comficient grip</title>
        <link>http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/25096/t/how-to-cut-grooves-for-a-Comficient-grip.html</link>
        <description>
        <![CDATA[ Recently  I fished my South Bend 290 all day and ya know what?...I do like that comficient grip. I dunno it just fits my hand nicely and I seem to keep my hand
positioned correctly.


My question is how does one go about grooving a grip like the comficient. I have a jig made that I can use to sand the thumb depression but when I tried to cut
the grooves I got a lot of tear out (I used a very fine exacto saw).


Any ideas on how to go at the grip while it&#39;s turning on my lathe? ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Bruce,
<br>
On the &quot;comficient&quot; grips I&#39;ve built, I use the edge of a flat file to cut the grooves while the grip turns on the lathe. Just go to the
&quot;big orange&quot; building supply store and get a Nicholson (or other eqivalent brand) file that&#39;s the thickness of the groove (make sure the edge of
the file is a cutting edge and is not smooth). Use the file as a knife on the lathe and you&#39;ll be able cut the grooves without a problem of tear-out.
<br>
Hope that... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;d probably spin down corks to a smaller diameter and cut them in 1/8&quot; slices to use as spacers for full sized 1/2&quot; corks. A drum sander would
be good for the thumb depression. Cheers.
