THIS PHOTO SHOWS A GS TAPERING JIG SET-UP ON A TABLE SAW. I USE THIS TO ROUGH TAPER BUTTS AND SHAFTS AS IT REMOVES MATERIAL RAPIDLY AND SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. NOTE THE DIAL INDICATOR THAT IS USED TO PRECISELY TELL HOW FAR THE BLADE IS BEING RAISED.
THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF A BUTT BEING CLEANED UP AFTER A GLUE-UP. ONCE IT HAS BEEN CLEANED UP IT WILL "HANG" FOR SEVERAL WEEKS TO NORMALIZE BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE FINAL TURNING. THIS PARTICULAR CUE WAS ORDERED BY ONE OF THE LOCAL "VALLEY LEAGUE" PLAYERS. I WILL POST IT IN THE "CUES IN PROGRESS SECTION".
