Jim is this one as accurate, and will you have to make others with varying degrees i.e 60*.:thinks:

Frankie, i have used this jig twice, and both have given me 100% accuracy, the one i posted here and a blank ready to turn, as long as your blank is square it won't go wrong ... :thumbs:

Jim what bandsaw is that you have.cheers Frankie.

I have a Record BS 300 Frankie ...
