I got a big heavy duty 12" disc sander. I am trying to decide between the B & R pendulum type sanding jig, and the Miles Gilbert, or B Square style.
One question that has come to mind that I've not seen addressed is this: Both type jigs set the proper heel and toe angles, but with the Miles Gilbert and B- Square types the sides of the pad will be ground at a 90 degree angle to the base it seems, and not have the proper slight angle on the sides that will continue the line of the wood. The buttstock is thicker at the heel and toe than at the comb and grip, and it seems to me that the pad should continue this angle to look perfect.
The pendulum style looks as if it would give that taper to the sides necessary to continue the sidelines of the wood. Am I right about this, Mark? You said you use the pendulum type. Or anyone else who has knowledge of this issue.
Thanks again, Stan
