Nah, I do it on the bandsaw about the same as you, only I use the same pinned cradle I use to mark the layout lines. It is the belt sander where I screw 'em up. That is the step I'd love to eliminate. I hate belt sanders, probably I should get a rotary one I can sight down from above with. |

George, are you holding your belt sander on edge?
It's easy to make a cradle for it to turn it into an edge sander.so you can eyeball whar you are sanding easier.
you could also setup a specific jig for sanding the slope so they come out all the same. I'd be glad to help you with that someday if you want.

Mine is an old, old, old Sears thing with 8" by 36" (or something like that) platen and worn bronze bearings. The price was right, free. Been paying for it ever since.

If it's free, it's for me!
Time to invest in a belt/disc combo Numbskull. Short money, and very handy.

I used to use the bandsaw/belt sander. There is a MUCH better way. Jigs and the table saw. Jigs make up VERY quickly and make cutting the slopes EXTREMELY easy and VERY consistant. All I use the BS for is easing the angle between slopes. |
