I think that clamping them p and making sure that there were all perfectly aligned would take longer than doing them one at at time, TBH, Andy. And if you clamp them, how are you going to hold them against the fence of the jig without the clamp itself getting in the way?

I tried out your spline shim cutting method and although some of them were a close fit, most were still sloppy - and clues as to the cause and any ways to ensure a better fit?
ScaredyCat wrote:Ohh, I can't remember if I did that. Do you class 2 cuts as forward and back?
