I love you!! Not in that way mind you!, :oops: but you just saved me from doing exactly what you did.. I just got a new 1512 2d with the same flat spot and tonight I was going to get out the dermal and continue the mods.. Now I wont!..

Thank you "DB"..:party::party:

No , If you look carefully they are on the bottom of the jig , they are exactly 5mm thick same as the shaft . when in the vise they keep a consistant distance on the jig clamping the shaft . without those it would be impossible to hold the shaft

Well done, that is a great idea

lol, did you check to make sure it does work the same with your kit?

No I cant check it now, MetalMan has my buggy, he making me a motor & ESC mount.:party::party: I'll check it this week, I was just making the assumption that it wouldn’t work, now I'm making the assumption it will..:yes:

Peter- I like the vise within a vice- very creative. You're using one side of a standard vise, so that would be necessary. Otherwise a narrow precision vice would be the way to assure the jaws clamped parallel... even those have some unevenness and your way is foolproof. Very nice!

I've been running without a grind job, no problems so far....
