Is that for rounding off ZCI's?

Yes, that is what it is for.

I round the end first, cut it to length, install it in the ZCI Sled (on the Mark V Table Saw) to cut the kerf, install it in the same ZCI Sled (on the Mark V Drill Press) to drill and countersink the holes.

I believe that I'll be able to do a batch of about twelve ZCIs in less than an hour.

I have been scribing the round end with a compass and sanding them to the line on the belt sander. This doesn't take long but I screw up ever now and then.

And here I thought that you were building a clay pigeon thrower...

I think it is a good idea, Dusty.

What's a ZCI?

Zero Clearance Insert. Saw blade insert that has no(or very little) clearance to the blade. Made by installing the insert to the table, and creating the blade slot by lowering the table/insert down onto the blade.

12 an hour huh? That's pretty impressive Dusty. I'll take 15 minutes worth and test them out for you...

All joking aside...that's a great idea!

Thanks
Geo

I'm not that greedy, I'll take 2, but only if the artist signs them. I'll even get the shipping if that's what it takes.
