Machining Pikie curve-heads

[Jigman]

I do them on the edge of my bendsander. I have a piece of stainless that I bent like a z-lip that slides in the lip slot. This is inserted with the flat side up. Feed the plug into the beltsander and stop when the cut is even with the z-lip. I can take a photo if that would make it more clear for folks.

I built a box that holds a hand held belt sander sideways, with a port for dust collection etc. on the deck of the box I built a guide rail and a depth stop. Having the guide rail and depth stop allow each one to have the same "cut."

I too use the bottom wheel of the belt sander. Set up up the height and slide the plug into wheel against pre determind stop. both square ends are left on and I sand off the top of front end in the dish out process. This takes very little time to do. actual video would describe this process easier. Just need a video recorder!!
