    Tidbits on Wolverine set-up

    I discovered two things today about the Wolverine grinding set-up that, despite all my reading and video watching, evaded notice. So, am posting this for future searches using "Wolverine" as key word/tag. The conflicting information about extending the tool 2" or 1-3/4" from the Verigrind...
