Anyone used the Marvel Precision checkering guide? Interested in a 20 lpi frontstrap and "Colt cut" undercut. Any online tutorials?

Very good jig. You still have to pay attention, it's not fool proof. It's good though, I've used it to checker the back strap as well as the fronts.

Practice on some scrap steel rods and flats first.
