I have run into a problem. After inserting the tubes and allowing the glue to cure, I have been using a milling tool to clean any glue out of the tubes and the trim off any excess wood at the end of the blank and to square it up. My problem has been that I've been holding the blank in a clamp with one end of the blank resting on my workbench. I think the blanks were not square to begin with and when I use the milling tool, it make the end of the blank uneven. After assembly of the pen, I see a small gap between the end of the tubes and the band/end pieces. I do not have a belt/disc sander. Any suggestions to eliminate this problem?
I recently got a newer bandsaw. I had a 9inch Skill Band Saw and it's blade started turning as I cut, making all my cuts at an angle. I think this might have contributed to my problem. I now have a Central Machinery 14inch saw and it appears to be much better. At least it cuts in a straight line, not an angle. I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks,
Jim
