Just buy yourself an Anchor 5/16" x 1/2" HSS square lathe tool bit. They are identical and about £5 online. Good luck everyone!

Would be helpful to explain how to determine if the reed is not balanced by playing on it side to side and then what to do about it. Also, if the reed is a bit too hard, what you can do to adjust the overall thickness. Otherwise, a helpful video and very well explained. Thanks.

Just use a normal piece of printer paper! Sandpaper will take too much off
