Does anyone have a good tecnique for sf guides?

oldster -

Elastic string - you can probably get it at JoAnn Fabrics.

Take a couple wraps around the foot, pull it taut, and tie a couple overhand knots.

The elastic string makes it very easy to "adjust" the guide both up and down the blank and around the perimeter, if needed, and it will hold the guide securely in place while you wrap.

After you get enough wraps on to hold the guide securely, just nick the string with a sharp blade and it will pop off and out of the way.

I hesitated to do single foot guides. But I found it easier to work with them that two foot guides. If I don't use them again, it will be because of the effect I'm looking for, not any difficulty working with them.

I'm with John. Elastic string is the cat's meow.
