If you have a 4" belt sander, the curve on it would be best. There was a tutorial on this somewhere on SOL. Not sure if it's cool to post the link.

8" drum on the drill press is absolutely 100% the easiest and fastest way to do the pikie slope. It is also the exact curve of the original Striper Pikie slope.

I did my first pikie last night. Used one of those drum shaped sanding thingies you put in your drill. Worked just fine. Probably a bit slow compared to a belt sander...

Actually John doesn't want us to since they don't allow it over there, but we get away with it here in the plug forum


I do mine with a 4x24 belt sander but you could use a drum sander on the drill press also.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
