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...

You can rough cut it first straight on the bandsaw, if you are using a drum that will save sandpaper. I do them on the wheel on my stroke 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. |

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

Thank you thank you thank you !!!
i was going to ask which was better- the drum or the belt sander.. I have the sander and i dont have a drum, so i'll give that a shot.
I think krispy is right that the drum would be easier as you can keep the blank 9o° to the drum just by laying it on the drill press table.
I will post pics sooooooon  |

Take a close look at the sanding drums that go between centers on your lathe...  |
