here you can see on a different size darter how the roughed out size and the finished size look.. To get the final finished size I just lay a piece of sand paper on a flat surface and hand sand the slope angle. I find it much easier than using a belt sander as you can really screw up the slope quickly. Going by hand you can sneak up on final size. It really is easy to do as the wood comes off quick and the flat made by the band saw makes it easy to stay in the shape and you are only going to be taking off a pretty small amount of wood. Now if I was making these things by the boat load I would come up with a faster method but for me this is perfect and produces very accurate repetitive plugs.
I hope this gives you an idea as to how to make consistent cuts and some ideas as to how to fashion a fixture or 2 for yourself.
