DIY Shaft maker.
Morgan:
Couple things I learned today playing with this.
1: finish is better if you spin the drill the same direction as the blade.
2: round stock finishes way way better than square. I cut some maple limb wood from a brush pile that was on average the size of the entrance hole of the jig. This produced a very nice end result and is probably what I will use rather than ripped boards. Guaranteed the grain is better and limb wood is free.
Pretty sure a fine blade with more teeth would be better than the blade I have on the saw.
Yorec:
I've tried the steel plate with holes drilled in it version with marginal success at best....
Gonna tray this one next - thanks!
Stoner:
Try a hex bolt in the drill chuck. Then put the corresponding size socket on the bolt head with a 3/8 drive. Shave a smidgin off the 7/16 square stock to fit in the 3/8 drive square hole. John
