Black around case necks on my gun, but not on others?

[cranebird]

I used a little Elmers when I made mine.
And it was closest to the edge of the shelf when I looked for some glue in my collection.
Worked out OK and I was able to remove the cutter when it dulled and needed to be replaced.
As far as keeping it straight, the case length gage part will keep it straight. Keeping even pressure with a crooked gage may be a different story if it's pitched on an angle.



PS - set it deeper in the wood. The closer your hand is to the case, the easier it it'll be to control pressure on the cutter.

Thanks, after I finish my cup of coffee, I'll set it deeper. I know it doesn't matter if it is exactly straight for function but for peace at mind, it makes all of the difference in the world. Natchez is where I got my other sets. I believe they were $4.95 there but I can't remember if the package read the same ?
