[QUOTE="Tim Sharp, post: 2024628, member: 107251"] As mentioned in previous posts, a mitre saw with a very fine tooth blade will work. Extra care must be taken to have the face of the butt perpendicular to the saw's table and parallel with the saw blade. A right angle square used on the table and the blade will adjust the blade for correct 90 degree angle. Well-burnished tape around the end will help with chips. The use of inserts or wood dowels epoxied into the structural foam of the stock to hold the new pad will allow for enough clamping power should you choose to glue on the new pad. If you choose to glue on the new pad without the use of inserts, pipe clamps set on 5' sections of pipe will provide ample clamping power. Additionally, I would only use a Pachmayr pad for my experience with the other brand mentioned is that they breakdown over time ruining everything they come in contact with. A belt sander will work too, but in my experience it is more difficult to keep the face of the butt plumb with the belt surface. The stock will need to be moved to back and forth to engage the belt on the sander , where as the mitre saw will engage a stationary stock. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
