Jim I made a set up using a jacob's chuck and transfer punches to be used on a dedicated sander. The photos are on here somewhere and if set up correctly it is foolproof!!!!

No problem with those Matty, if you look in the link i posted above i am using a punch to do the SR Gent pens with the Drill Bit sizes of 14.5mm or 37/64" and 11.5mm or 29/64"

Great..will order those tomorrow, now I can either use my lathe or sander to sand the blanks... the lathe sounds the better option, no alignment issues,variable speed and I don't need to buy a new chuck or make a table but will have to change the sandpaper more regularly

Many thanks guys,this is why this forum is the best around :ciggrin:

Great,just what I needed,these will be very useful!

I got given 10 100 grit belts the other day , 5 x 40 and they don't fit my sander so I will cut them up and use them for this,knock the bulk off on my belt sander then use these to clean the edges up!

Put a 3/4 thick piece of scrap oak on a 3 inch unused faceplate today and cut lots of 100 grit sandpaper discs out ready for the arrival of the TP's :thumbs:
