Question
When sanding the flat spot on a Danny head ,do you sand the open grain side or the closed grain,or doesn't it make a difference?
THANKS

I don't sand it at all. I just break the edge a little. The chop saw does a fine job crosscutting it.

POORLY PHRASED QUESTION
Thanks guys for the tips. I think i phrased the question wrong.  What i really wanted to know was if the open grain should be on top or the side of the plug?[ Like a baseball bat]Which would give the plug the most stength or doesn' it make any difference?
I'm thinkin razor lips spliting plugs here. THANKS |

Grain should run lengthwise on the plug. Otherwise you could just bend it between your hands and snap it.
Wood is always strongest going with the grain.

Bugger, I don't think that is what he means. I'm sure he is turning the plugs with the grain going lengthwise 
I think what you are asking is if it matters that the sawkerf slot for the lip is cut along the line of the grain or against it, right? I do mine any way it lands, it shouldn't really matter, if it is gonna split, then it will split. Never had it happen though. |

hey Slip youze a dodo too.....read it again 
He said RAZOR LIPS
NOW I understand what he asking, no it doesn't matter which way the grain goes, not going to make a difference in strength. |
