First - I found this on my bench - does anyone recognize it? The shaft has a flat spot its whole length
Second - after 5 fretboards, I just notices a line scored down the length of the blade of my StewMac fret saw. It is just a little deeper than the fret barbs and works great at letting you know you are deep enough. Is this intentional? Do others have this on their saws?

Re: Two things
Just replied over on OLF.....It looks like the threaded center for a "self feed" bit which could be turned around when the threads get too worn to pull the bit into the board. I used to use them for electrical and plumbing chases in log homes.

Re: Two things
Thanks Carl - dead right. My daughter was cleaning her shop and gave me a giant Milwaukee Forstner type bit she used in an art project. I looked it over on the bench, then put it away - at least I put PART of it away
Anybody on the scribed line on the saw plate??
