Looking for some input on folks that use a disc sander trimmer setup to Sand the ends of their blanks to true them up instead of using a standard barrel trimmer. On many "punky" woods such as Buckeye Burl I get a lot of tear out attempting to use a barrel trimmer. Some pen turners have mentioned they have gone the way of the trimmer attachment using their Disc Sander to do this job and thus have eliminated the tear out. I've seen these trimmer/sander jigs sold online and wonder if anyone has possibly made their own. Us turners afterall are creative and frugal
Would be most interested in some comments regarding this......Thanks
