Likely doesn't matter, but if it somehow makes a difference, I have two checkering objectives: Firstly to point up existing checkering on doubles. Secondly, I am required in school to build two rifles from an action, which will be stocked from blanks, and checkered at the end. What would you recommend, and why? Thank you.

If you are doing much the Ullman carbide tools are great as are Steve Earle's cutters. I don't use a power tool ( I get in trouble fast enough with hand tools) so no recommendation there.

Well, since one of the rifles I have to build could be a 1903, you�re actually quite with it, Geo. Most build a Mauser and a Rem 700. I�ll build from whatever actions I find at the time, and can afford.

You might save some money on ebay. You will need to do some modifications to save your finger on the tool shaft. I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

I�m aware of Jon Hosford�s power checkering tool, but like you, I would get into trouble as well.
