Terry,

I admire the construcyion of the things you make but for me I use a square block of exceeding hard wood about 4 inches or so long with an inserted at right angle to a 90 degree guide to the sanding disk with sleeves for other than Slimlines blanks it is the only way I can properly square my uneven blanks uneven two reasons 1. blanks not always square cut. 2. I drill on my dedicated drill press quickly locating the blanks by eye in the vice (99 times out of a hundred real close).

If I show a pic it may be more explicit.

Kind regards Peter.
