Reply To: Sticking hornblocks: where to adjust?

Stuart’s advice is excellent.  If you follow this, and take it slowly with a little by little approach, you will get good results every time.  I’ve never used MJT hornblocks, as I find the High Level ones to be absolutely perfect.  But that is exactly what I do.

One other thing that hasn’t been mentioned is inherent from the guides being etched.  Sometimes there can be a “cusp” on the inside edges of the guide, as it is etched from both sides and can leave a ridge.  I don’t know if this occurs on the MJT guides.  If it does, the tiniest couple of strokes of a fine file will again leave a smooth running surface for the bearing.

Have fun!
