I'm confused. You want maple for plugs or for jigs to hold materials steady on the drillpress, bandsaw or other powertool? If for a holding jig, take 1X stock and laminate/glue the pieces together.

What is 1x stock? Do you just glue the pieces together with gorilla glue and the machine the correct jig?
I have always had difficulty doing this with anything other than solid stock, hence my question.

1X stock is 3/4 inch thick. I prefer titebond three for gluing. Clamp overnight. I did this with oak for the rails on my tablesaw's movable caster system. What are you using this for again?

I have 4 jigs to make for plugging, pen making and shaving brushes. All for drilling on my 12" drill press. If I am taking 1x stock I am looking 24 board ft 6" wide. The brush jig needs to be 2" minimum
I also want to make a jig for grinding poppers with the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& offered grinders so add another 12 board foot.

I don't understand why you want hard maple but if that's what you need, maybe an old piece of butcherblock countertop would do.

What you would make jigs out of?
I don't like MDF etc. for that. I can't find other material that is stiff enough.

Bill, when I need to make a jig for around the shop, usually scrap birch plywood will do, maybe a few scraps of hardwood if needed also.
There's nothing wrong with glueing up some thinner hard maple if you can't find it thick enough.
I have some old butcherblock somewhere if you really need some.

What slip said. I like poplar on a birch ply base. All from the scrap bin though.

Go buy the February issue of Fine Woodworking. Article on getting more out of your drill press is excellent. Auxiliary table design is all laid out for you. I am going to build one myself this weekend. T track slots for securing fence, hold downs, v-groove blocks for drilling eyes and bellies, and table will tilt for end grain and angled bores! This is a must see article for all.
