Woa now dont hate too much on dive rs. For long surface swims (couple miles) which is what I do, they are perfect. The angle is great. For boat diving I might hate on them a little as they are heavy and cumbersome at times. They are worth the hype depending on the type of diving you are doing. They are made in Aus where long surface swims are normal. Take them for what they are....

27" band 4" wishbone, center of band hole to back tab is 44"
is that an 18mm band? That is the length I use for 5/8 bands. Also, a 4" wishbone is too long and can cause problems with line wrapping in bands when shot. Cut it down to at least 3" and you can even go shorter. Thanks for the help

For tri tips I use a triangle jig made from 1/4'' aluminum plate with a hole the size of the shaft I'm sharping.A set screw holds the shaft in proper index. The jig lays on the table of my disk sander that I run at reduceed speed to control excessive heat which will anneal the tip if it was heat treated. A long stone can substitute the machine for a quick touch up.
For pencil tips you can mount the shaft in a hand drill that a trusted helper operates while you ''skillfully'' hold against the sanding plate face.
The jig is buried in the garage somewhere, sorry no pics.
Yes I have used the sidewalk/ parking curve in Mexico.

If you have time could you post a couple pics of your jig? :@ I would like to see it
