Thread: Wedges easy, quick, accurate

The pins in my wedges are always 1/8" back from the edge so that is the distance between the pins. Take your wedge material measure back 1/8" inch and drill a hole. Drop it on the gizzy and hold it against the sanding disk. It's easy to sand on an angle to get the wedge shape. Do one side flip it over and do the other. Take a few cuts and sort of sneak up on it. It doesn't get much simpler. The last photo is a completed and installed horn wedge.

Your welcome...
I posted it in butchered blade some time back, for those that dont have a belt sander.

Mine was made to make large and small single pin wedges and double pin wedges.
