ARCH - UHMW

[Eadric Anstapa]

If you are familiar with the Woodchuck power tapertool then it should be
easy to do something like that with a tabletop disc sander or a table saw
with an abrasive blade in it.

I envision start with a 5ft or so length of uhmw rod.  Just build a jig that
you can lay the uhmw rod in and run it forward until contacts your abrasive
disc, then start turning it.  Once one end of the rod is tapered flip it
over and taper the other end.  Then step to the chop saw where you already
have a depth stop set and cut off each end.  Now ya got two pieces tapered
and cut.  Then just repeat the process till ya run out of rod.

Then it is time to step to the drill press where you already have a jig
bolted to the table and the depth stop set.  Just drop in your little piece
of tapered uhmw into the jig, pull yer lever, and move on.

With a couple of folks it could go real fast.

Regards,

Eadric
