262328 Tony Blanks <dynnyrne@i...> 2017‑05‑23 Source of reprocutters for Preston Reeder?
Friends,

If anyone knows of a source of reproduction cutters, or cutter blanks 
which will fit an Edw. Preston adjustable reeder, I'd be grateful for 
the info.  Images of the tool and the cutters are here, on Jim Bode's site:

Blanks-p45609.html">http://www.jimbodetools.com/PRESTON-Beader-with-3-Fences-8
-Cutters-and-Blanks-p45609.html

or here, in an old Martin Donnelly catalogue:

The distinguishing feature of the cutter blanks is the three slots: a 
longitudinal centre slot to accommodate the cap iron securing screw, and 
the the cross-ways slot towards each end of the cutter to fit the 
adjuster wheel.

Thanks,

Tony B
