Anyone have plans or ideas for a disk sander jig for squareing blanks? I see PSI has one for $18.95. Is it worth it and does it do a good job? Any reply's appreciated.

In fact look at my album, every pen in it was squared with that little jig and so were the Emperors that I've shown on show your pen forum. I would never go back to a barrel trimmer.

1) How does one use the one size fits all sanding trimmer from PSI to trim larger size blanks that have, say, 10mm tubes for cigar pens?
2) Will one of the smaller disk sander work okay. I want a small bench top sander that won't take up to much space that will be used just for this purpose. I've seen a 4" and 5" model at harbour Freight. I have a larger sander mounted in another area of my shop and its just to inconvenient to get to (don't ask).
Thanks
