Hi Ian,
If you shorten the slide to reduce the cutaway the needle clip position will need to be moved the same amount
(if you have enough grooves to compensate)
Filing the intake side only will increase the cutaway, the opposite of what you want to do

Thanks John.

I'd only be taking .030" off which is much less than the difference between any 2 grooves in the needle.....

I was going to skim the slide in the lathe so taking it off the flat end face rather than the angled cutaway so would be reducing the amount of cutaway.

That link I pointed to says that the geometry would be changed as the cutaway normally starts from the same horizontal position at the bottom of the slide hence its angle changes with different cutaway values.

But we'll see how the slide from Dave works.
