[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 4803302, member: 30002"] Always work in millimetres ........ at work - note mm - not centimetres or metres - whatever the distance. Always work in thous when machining. Always plough in inches - would be sacrilege to plough in anything other - especially when working out the number of green furrows as you start casting to your neighbour, turning left on the headland. Never ever forget. This is where your finish starts. Leave the odd bit here where it can’t be judged. Be careful with the hinge. Easy to try and leave too much which ends up (on stiffer ground) pulling it up from underneath. Get some unadulterated 44’s and get them bright. Put one on the front body and a cut down one on the rear. Then do the same the other way round. See which you like best. Word of warning if your boards are worn off on the underside. Attempting to leave too big a hinge will end up cutting a trench at the furrow wall side of the furrow bottom with a step up to where the board breaks it off. This in itself means that the furrow is self destructing on its way along the board. Counter productive when you are trying for whole work with a shine. Little or no alternative but to build the board back up again. [/QUOTE]
