Hey I just figured out a better way after I scuffed the side as you did, I then built up the platform/table until it is just a little deeper than the pad the last piece of wood I used to build it up is just enough to rest it on about an inch wide allows you to tilt it & also see what your doing & virtually impossible to damage more than 1/8 of an Inc of the stock I also put a speed control on the sander and slowed it down, I wish I thought of this before I messed it up
Thanks for the suggestion. However we only use this method on a stock that we know we are going to refinish. For stocks we are not going to refinish, we mark the recoil pad with a scribe and grind up to the scribe line with the pad not on the stock.
