    Nice drill base! one of these days I will get around to making a base for my pillar drill with 'T' tracks, I'm glad you like the jig, it does look well made, and such a simple idea, the guy's over at Stewart MacDonald do come up with some neat tools.

    Not mine,is a commercial model made by kreg,for my first use I took the fixture to a friends shop as I wanted to use his large drill press (2 h.p) thinking my 2/3 h.p bench drill press might not be up to the task,in retrospect it works just fine using lighter cuts but would not want to stress mine with heavy cuts,do not think the quill would tolorate it long term.
    Great info above on profile sanding,thank you. Yes the folks at SM have some great tools.

    For those that have an interest,the bearing setup consists of a hard phenolic wheel with a phospher Bronze bearing.
    All works great,today I slabbed out some material to about .125 on the bandsaw,ran the 60 grit wheel at 2250 and ran the material thru all at the same setting just to remove the saw marks to about .110.
    Went to the 80 grit at the same speed,took 10K off of each side,they all come in within .003,the rest I will do by hand,great device.

If you run shorts through a plainer the wood can get kicked out at high speed because you did not have a positive lock with the rollers. I have a Jet 18/24 sander and it works wonderfully for surfacing down scales. I can go sub 1/16 inch with it if I wanted.
    ha! small world.. whats up coffee man
