This is a
simple tool for putting fullers into blades. It is made with a triangular carbide lathe
bit mounted on a bar. The back side has an adjustable reference arm that sets the distance
from the edge of the blade. You can rapidly scrape a fuller down a blade holding exact
placement. I will show more detail and use on the Fullers page

You clamp a piece of
flat stock like micarta, steel or brass plate etc. to
the drill table face and then clamp the liner and scale (previously glued if
possible) to the underside of the flat stock, where it hangs over the edge of the
drill table, and in such a manner that some of the ready center punched holes
can be drilled through the line and scale. The holes will be perpendicular to
the working face of the liner, then you can transfer punch the hole marks to the
opposite liner and scale and repeat. A tip from Jim Steele. Drawing by Australian Knifemakers Guild, West Australia branch
.
Often times you need to hold the handle for work such as carving and this is a
good combination using a woodworking clamp in your vise. It holds the piece
securely and will adapt to any size handle without marring the material.
