When I made my sanding jig I always realised that there could be some side movement if my hand moved when sanding and this was picked up by Peter (penpal) and so I said I was going to look into it. I am going to show some photos of my idea which is basically a Vee block. It is a piece of 25mm angle welded onto a piece of flat bar. The flat bar can be drilled and fastened to not only my budget sander platform but any sander with a platform bought from a shop. You will have to use your imagination slightly and the vee block is too long as it only needs to be about 30 odd millimetres/ It can hold round blanks and square blanks firmly and if set up perfectly in line to the disc and 90 deg to the platform as I see it then it should be idiot proof for getting perfect ends on blanks.
Your comments please!!!
