S

anding end grain can be a chore. It’s difficult enough just because it’s the hardest part of the board to remove saw marks from. Add

to that the small surface area and you run into problems keeping the surface square and flat as you sand. This little sanding jig makes
handling pieces small and large a snap, taking advantage of the power sanding capabilities of a disc sander while providing support for
the workpiece. It can be used as a slider, allowing you to maintain even wear across the face of the sanding disc. If your pieces are
really small, you can lock the Miter Slider in place and just slide your work piece down the fence to the sanding disc.

Add a Miter Slider and (2) T-Slot Panel
Connectors to a small Build-It Panel and
place in the miter slot at your disc sander.
Adjust the Miter Slider to fit your slot. Cut
a piece from another Build-It Panel to fill
the gap between the existing assembly
and your sanding disc. Cut the slots in
the fence as shown then attach with
(2) 1/4-20 x 1-1/2” hex bolts with washers
and Build-It Knobs. The slotted holes
permit adjustment to almost any angle.
Caution: If you have a small side table
on your disc
sander, you
should only
use this jig
with the Miter
Slider “locked”
in the slot to
create a sta-
tionary jig
.
