question: How come you cut your pen blanks on the bandsaw and not the tablesaw?

Adrian, I’d like to take a stab at answering your question with my guess for band saw cutting. Two reasons I think, thin kerf on band saw, look like roger makes a lot of pens and the 1/8” vs 1/32? Adds up, plus the bandsaw is much safer than a table saw.

Great jigs roger.

-- If you believe you can or can not do a thing, you are correct.

Appreciate everyones comments. I believe we are all winners on these fine pages of LJ’s. Adrian: cuttin small parts on a table saw is too challenging and unsafe, unless you have a sled, which I do, and I’ll use it for larger projects. It’s just much easier to have a “smaller” version of a sled on the bandsaw for small parts such as these, and much, much safer. Blanks could be cut on a miter saw also, but, again, that’s a bit unsafe in my “book-hoyle”

Great. The hand made jigs are the best!! They look to be very useful for pen making…or other things too!!
you appreciate them more if you make them your self!!!!

Nice! I like the idea of the bandsaw jig since there is so much less waste on pen blanks than on a table saw. This is in my todo list.

There’s nothing like a jig or two to keep me interested.
