They look good Chad.I have that same groover and I love it.talked to the guy that makes them and he's making a new head for it so you can get in closer to the lug without running the blade out so far.I sent a bunch of pics to him awhile back.this should help save on some blades and make it easier.Chad :mrgreen:
