Bill Webber kindly pointed out to me off-line that I apparently
mis-parsed Trevor's note:  I assumed that he was saying that the
4-holded MF#1 was actually a MF#2 with a missing fence.  Whereas 
his point actually was that the 4H-#1 and the #2 are completely 
different tools.

(And, thanks to an image that Bill pointed me to, I now know
that one of those mysterious pieces of metal that I picked up
as part of an auction-lot a while back is actually about 40% of
a MF#2.  Learn something every day....)
