I am in exactly the same boat. Turning out multiples would be nice, but I much prefer making the final pass with a skew over aggresive sanding (and roughing out square blanks with a gouge beats other methods of knocking off the edges.) I did note at the plugfest that Chris had a Penn State duplicator (I think) that seemed to let you use it as a tool rest.
