ok darter fixture time. first part anyway. Here is what I came up with after George told me to try it on the table saw. I am standing it on its nose. Belly hole is positioning it on a pin and there is a pin going into the tail thru hole, thanks Joe for that idea. You can't move it a smidgen, rock solid and the clamp is almost unneeded. It has multi adjustments for different lengths and I will just make more blocks on rear end to accommodate different dia. darters if I ever need too.

Paul if you use a wide dado blade you get both cuts in one pass.  Very similar to one i made. |

I am using a dado in one pass. It is adjusted to the thinnest setting which is about 1/4". |

I like your jig but I don't understand what you guys are doing with the dado blade or why you would need more than 1 pass? |

I hate table saws...they are messy and dangerous...
Here are a sequence of pictures of the jig I use... one jig does all the cuts, after each cut , I adjust the fence and move the main assembley to thenext location
First picture is of the bottom lip... second is of my first cut, maybe the most important... third is of the second slope ange ...
Alll holes are fefrenced off of the belly hole, the tail stock is movable to accomodate different sized plugs, the pin hold the plug tight, no clams are needed, which I found to be problematic with the original jig I made.... pre detirmined areas are marked on the blank prior to cutting, these referance the start of each new cut...

the first picture is of my final angle cut for the dive plane, followed by the cut for the top lip... after cutting the top lip, the plug is left in that posistion and brought to the disc sander, by alinging the edge and using a "soft" touch, I start at the final predetermined mark and draw the plug towards me, thus sand out any kerf marks left by the band saw..
