Re: ShopTalk: re-groove a sand wedge

[Bernie Baymiller]

Carl,   Yes, it was Dave T. Here's his last post on the subject, made on 12/5/03:   "I've posted about this before, but it's always fun to talk about. The maximum groove width allowed by the rules is .035". The wedge as shipped had a groove width about .015" -- way smaller than allowed. So I wanted to widen them. I have a Dremel tool. The abrasive metal-cutting disks for this gadget are .027" thick. So I ran the tool along the grooves. Clamped the head with the face up and accessible. I freehanded it; the original grooves provided a good guide for the blade. I cut until the disk settled down to the bottom of the groove. This gave me a U-groove .030" wide, just about right. Hope this is clear.

I seem to recall someone using a dremel tool to do this, Dave T perhaps?   Carl Ralph Harwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Does anyone out there have any 'poor-man's' way of re-grooving an iron? I have a Ping Sand Wedge that I sure would like to restore its grooves. Any help would be appreciated!!
