Default Gullets

Some talk about gullets lead to these pics.

Also I'll reveal the ACME Palm Slayer Version 1.0 profile for a good days slaughter.

Here's a pretty typical tooth that needs attention. This has been filed a lot using one of those guides and it may not allow the file deep enough to "clear out the gullet".



Now here's the same sized file used free hand to file out the "gullet".



And don't be afraid to experiment, years of experience has taught me different courses for different horses. This is the palm slayer profile. I achieve this by tilting the head on the Oregon grinder as far as possible and dress the wheel accordingly with an acute angle and for clearance of the rakers.
