Hello All,
I came across this on youtube actually and figured I'd share it.
It looks pretty well built, and to make your own dowels

James,
Thanks for sharing that. Very interesting. I am now tempted to get one of those, and I don't even know why. I guess because it just looks fun (and a bit dangerous) to use! :)
:) I want one, and I don't make table legs or canes, really, anything round! But...
If I had the rotary, I sure would use it to reduce the wear & tear on my CW!!
Not sure how many of you are DIYer or purchase things already made in regards to jigs/sleds on the table saw but Izzy Swan on youtube has been doing this for sometime now, even to the extent of turning bowls on the table saw. Lots of good info if you want to give it a go yourselves. Worth checking out http://youtu.be/fp5n7SpzGLE

Could one not use the rotary jig itself on a table saw (or router table) to round the dowels? With the right jig under it, it could almost be safe!
Edit: still thinking: use it upsidedown
I will try it. I was going to make a jig for my bandsaw. It was going to be much more complicated. Adjustable moving parts and such.
A guide system to use the rotary jig on a table saw or router table would be so much simpler. And even better yet, the dowel will be true on the jig ready to go.
Thanks for this thread James!
I didn't see what the maximum diameter it can handle. Does anyone know the maximum.
He does say around 12" in FAQ.
