I use a bench grinder with a small circular saw blade on each side. The blades are angle grinder metal cutting TCT blades, a 4" blade gives a 1.5mm slot and a 5" blade a 2mm slot. adjustable height tables for each blade allow me to centre the radius of cut for the different thicknesses of timber.

Interesting Thread, I take 1 or 2 rods depending on where I'm fishing, and usually less than 20 lures I wonder if the Buzzbait/Gator attraction work's with Croc's in Northern Australia??, they're not a lure type I've seen used much over here Cheers Wal
