I tend to agree with most of what you've said.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2 face=Arial>The one thing you would think would be standardized in the
industry would be the sweeps of tools. You can take a #5 in Ashley Iles,
Henry Taylor, Stubai, Flexcut, Two Cherries, Marples, Sculpture House, Ramelson,
Warren, Denny, etc. etc. etc. ... and find differences in the sweeps between
them. Some will match, where others might be considerably
different.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

stick with them.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
