Never seen this conversion.
Is there a thread or a video?

BTW, with mine Gibbs No.17 I used this little trick.
Fast and easy, and It works as a charm.

Up to now I used this:
Fast, easy (also on the Gibbs) and accurate to use.

Good to hear.
But I do not understand how this thing works?
Looks like something to notch the blade.
Not to convert the Gibbs base plate.
Maybe I'm wrong ...

"up to now" is the key phrase. There is a razor conversion described elsewhere.

Thanks.

You are 100% correct, it is something to notch the blade.
You insert the blade into the slot, it lines up the blade perfectly and you hit the top of the white handle with your hand. It cuts the notch in one side of the blade.
Repeat the process for the other side.
Your blade is perfectly notched.

I made it so that it can fit into a reloading press and its even quicker using it like that.
