I seen a video of one being used one time the guy was using slabs with it.
I think one of my flint knapping books had it in also.

I use a board with different size grooves cut in with a rubber lining on top with the grooves cut into it also for running long, controlled flakes on slabs.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Found it.  The guy was asking about the "Ronco chip-o-matic that is shown in the Bowyers Bible, volume 3, page 320.
