And just to be totally different from everyone else....I use a heavy duty belt sander, 6"x48", 80 grit on the machine, final finish by hand, all pads ground in place on the stock. I learned that way in school and am very comfortable with it. I know most folks are not. I only use the jig for grinding leather covered pads undersized to compensate for the thickness of the leather.
