Cutting Darter Slope?

Joe, what do you call those pins you are using to position the jig angle and hold the plug tail in place? Thanks.

Those pins are made from aluminum... I used a carbide bit to turn them down to fit the differant sized holes i through drilll... I also made one fixture that alows the plugs to be screwed on in case i use screw eyes...

I was thinking of doing the slope using a pattern bit on the router table. Make a sled with the master attached, cut the pattern with a top bearing pattern bit, switch to bottom bearing bit to cut slope. I thought I saw someone post something like this years ago.

Use the back end of drill bits as locator pins if necessary.

Thanks, Bill. That definitely would work. I was fortunate to find a handled pusher used for braiding Sampson braid rope. It is used to push the line through a fid, and it is the exact diameter I need.
