Hello again John,

Thanks for the help. Your clamps look like an excellent way to make sure the two sides of the cut line are registered in the same plane. I will use the idea and assume that as long as the ends are accurately in the same plane, the two surfaces will be close enough.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply,

Best regards,

Allan Edie
