Hi Duane, I think the brush would have been part of the kit you receive as a WOSTEP student, so I don’t know where exactly it came from. It’s just a dusting brush though, nothing special, with one of the hairs bent. Colin

I an interested in purchasing it or one like it. Thanks in advance ! D

Hi Doreen,

The sides of the jaws will usually have a screw or bolt in the side that you can loosen and adjust the jaws as needed.

I have previously owned a set of jaws that were steel and could not be adjusted and so if they were not parallel you would need to file the tops of the jaws flat.

I hope that helps.

Colin

It is mentioned above “ The jaws can be adjusted independently to one another, and so here we have lowered the right jaw to ensure that it is perfectly parallel to the left one.“ I’m wondering how can you adjust them independently?
I do have a Levin poising tool that have the same problem; one jaw is higher than the other and I don’t know how to adjust them. It will be very nice if you will explain with more detail how to do the adjustments. Many thanks in advance

I was shown to blow air with the dust blower to give the balance a swing. That being said, I like your brush technique and will give it a try. I have a steel jaw poising tool and it works for me. Cheers!
