I have trouble holding the tone bar when doing a reverse slant.Sooooo, I drilled a small indent on the top of my Shubb stainless/wood top.It allows me to place a finger tip in that spot to help anchor the bar while doing the slant.Helped me a lot.My 2 cents. Very Happy

I had an small indent ground into an all-metal Shubb reso bar, on the front where 3rd finger holds it for backslants, then filed it to rough texture, unfortunately can't find it right now to take a picture.

Helped a little but I decided I didn't want ot take a big chunk of material out of the bar at that point.
