Installing the lips

[ruhroh]

Leave blocks on ends. Measure were you want to cut your lips and how deep. Install fence and stop on deck of bandsaw. Run plug along fence until it hits the stop. Now you have identical cuts.

If you want to cut the ends off build a v-block sled and again run that along the fence with your plug in it.

I have a nice adjustable jig i use to cut lips on my table top band saw... I'll have it on display at plugfest..I've posted it here before, it was an earlier version... the new model is much more versatile.. it uses a "V" block and tail stock set up and can be adjusted for any plug length or diameter..
