masterchassis : Message: RE: [masterchassis] Alan Gibson Hornblocks

I work in 4mm, and I too have used happily the High Level ones. I've also used MJT and Kean Maygib.

All seem to work, but it is important to leave enough space in the frame cut-out to allow a wee bit of manoeuvring of the hornguide support, so you can things accurately lined up on the Masterchassis.

I have had good success with the High Level fold-up hornblocks. If you also getthe (free) additional etches you can use these with piano wire for springing.

Any news on the masterchassis version?

Subject: [masterchassis] Alan Gibson Hornblocks

Hi, my Masterchassis is making its debut and I wondered if anyone has
any experience of using Alan Gibson hornblocks? With there only being
the fence and no hornguide as such has anyone any suggestions apart
from tacking a false bearing plate to the outside of the chassis frames?

Thanks

Frank
