I hate table saws...they are messy and dangerous...

Here are a sequence of pictures of the jig I use... one jig does all the cuts, after each cut , I adjust the fence and move the main assembley to thenext location
First picture is of the bottom lip... second is of my first cut, maybe the most important... third is of the second slope ange ...

Alll holes are fefrenced off of the belly hole, the tail stock is movable to accomodate different sized plugs, the pin hold the plug tight, no clams are needed, which I found to be problematic with the original jig I made.... pre detirmined areas are marked on the blank prior to cutting, these referance the start of each new cut...

the first picture is of my final angle cut for the dive plane, followed by the cut for the top lip... after cutting the top lip, the plug is left in that posistion and brought to the disc sander, by alinging the edge and using a "soft" touch, I start at the final predetermined mark and draw the plug towards me, thus sand out any kerf marks left by the band saw..

this series of pictures shoiws the rogh saw kerf cut of the plug prior to taking it to the disc sander, before and after pictures show that very little material is remived by the disc sander, because the plug was left in the jig, all angles remain true even after sanding....
