Title: Takedown limbs
Post by: jess stuart on March 01, 2014, 12:43:00 PM
I was wonder what you gentlemen use to chamfer the glass on the limb mounting holes.  I have for years just used a file and sandpaper.  Got to wondering if there was an easier or better way so, I thought I would ask the experts.

It has been years ago but I used. Chamfer bit in the drill press followed by the sandpaper.
