Bob thank you for the Pic simple and accuracy depends on placement and making as always I did not have a memory of this one before and reall y appreciate your reference I can see why you copied this.
When I made mine so long ago I had every small thing I needed except the the mandrel in the wood block, sleeves were in use at the lathe already, I had an excellent Mitre unit already set at right angles another 12 inch disk sander took me 15 minutes to cut drill glue the cut off mandrel in the block this was the way I went.
Like the way you made yours very neat do you lift it to fit the blank on or slide the unit along? Turn the disk off between blanks? I like the height above centre the dust below centre and to the right would spray out and be uncomfortable on any set up. I often use my disk sander for flattening burl pen bases if I err to the right I get a face full. I guess with the chuck, punches, adapter for holding the chuck you were in for about 50.00 dollars well worth it if one were to start from scratch.
Great adventure squaring blanks especially home cut irregular ones. Thanks for your opportune example mate.
Peter.
