Years ago I bought the Jaras hammer hanging jig and have used it occasionally. No problem getting an even hammer (shoulder) line, but I've never acheived a consistent line in the hammer tails although the jig provides a straightedge to back the forward (toward player) edge of the tail against. Is the Spurlock jig better in this regard? Will arcing the tails afterward with the Spurlock tail arcing jig correct the discrepancies? I have a set to replace next month, and any advice will help!
