You are right, a 10 side disc does not have a flat 90* side. But as John said with the miter gauge adjusted to the propper angle that can brace the angled side, the fence the other.

I would still do it vertically but not seeing a pic of the project, it is hard to see all, no pun there.

Where did 'John' say that?

It ain't morning here! Went to 'horseshoe' and took some of their money today(a 90 minute bus ride).

JPG your as always are correct, I ASSUMED THAT.
What is Horse Shoe? Sounds like a Native American take YOUR money place? Oops got it, you got lucky today

So JPG do you have to go to IN to have access to winning some cash?

You have not said how big the disks are so that could be a problem drilling vertically or horizontally for that matter. I would drill vertically and use the rip fence and the miter gauge locked in the slot to center the disk on the table. It should not require a special jig. Use a backup board under the disk to prevent tear out and protect the table. A brad point or Forstner bit will work fine.

A 10 sided 'disc' may not register to both the rip fence and miter gauge depending upon the angles..

But if the disks were all cut at the same time and the angles are all the same it doesn't matter. As long as you always register the disk on the same surface, either the fence or the miter gauge it will be in the same place.

Yep! Gotta become a wetback!

Oh, there is Cincinnati also. Still requires swimming.

I do not disagree, but a 'flat' is preferable to a 'point'. IF the miter gauge can be set flush against a second flat, all is hunky dorey.

When it comes to betting or gambling I always loose, so I just dont and I buy myself something instead. But I guess I am just unlucky, not that others are not.

I am no expert, but do try to minimize their rate of success. I am amazed at how just plain ign...stu... crazy some folks play blackjack. Sure the odds favor the house. Basic strategy is well defined. After a half hour at the table, the dealer knows how I am going to bet.

Today I got lucky. More than tripled my initial stake, dropped to below 2x then recovered to slightly above 2x. I was playing with the house money most of the time.

No it does NOT work out that way all the time.

Oh I could play with the ponies in state, but I do not like those odds. Too much unpredictability(or I do not know HOW to play).

Now back to drilling.
