This tool gives the average guy the best chance at properly fitting a recoil pad to the butt stock. Professionals no doubt can do it just by hand but for the occasional user this tool can save a lot of ruined pads.
Best Used for:
- Shaping recoil pad to fit butt stock
Would recommend: Yes

This product is just the tool you need for getting the correct angle for the toe when fitting a grind to fit recoil pad. You will need a 8 inch belt sander as well. Once you have this tool you can use it over and over again. I used it to fit a nice pachmyr recoil pad to an old Remington 870 wingmaster that had a factory recoil pad that was as hard as an old tire.
Would recommend: Yes

While I suppose it is possible to do a recoil pad without it, the jig makes it so much easier. Although I have never done a recoil pad without the jig, I don't suppose I ever will. If all you use it for is to get the heal and toe angle correct, it pays for itself.
Would recommend: Yes

Have installed several recoil pads that required grinding fits. Probably the only jig that makes them grind out perfectly. I recommend using a table disc sanders along with a fine grit sandpaper 120 or finer. Make sure your score lines are visible to grind to.
Best Used for:
- custom fit grindable recoil pad
Would recommend: Yes

All round good product, very easy to use. Takes the guess work out of contouring the heal & toe and saves the fingers from doing free hand sanding.
My only fault with the product is the wrong lock nut was shipped in the package (course thread, fine thread required). Really speeds up the job & has the potential to makes an amateur look like a pro if you follow the instructions. Unfortunately import duties/shipping almost double the price by the time it gets to Canada.
Definitely going to recommend this product.
Cons:
- wrong part supplied (nut thread)
Would recommend: Yes

This is a must-have item for anyone who does stock work. It cut my install time for recoil pads in half. The only real problem I have with it is the ease of over-compressing the pad you're grinding, thus causing a concave in the pad when finished. A little care and caution goes a long way here.
Pros: Easy to use, easy to set angle of grind
Cons: If you're not careful, you can overcompress the pad you're grinding on, and make it concave.
Would recommend: Yes
