Thank you Rick, for that good information.  I'm anxious to do that on my favorite 364's soon.  Have you combined chamfering and embossing.  If so, was there further improvements?  My inquiring mind wants to know, more.

Hi Ron,

Reed chamfering is a different technique from slot embossing, though it
does have similar effects.  You can read more about it in this document I
put together awhile back:
