RE: Accurate Edge Angles - Ray Newman - 11-09-2017 Prior to purchasing a Fe$tool track saw, I ripped/broke down plywood with a Porter-Cable trim saw and a shop fabricated jig. Worked well and this is what I learned: --A sharp blade is very important and required. Bought a carbide blade and only used it for finished cuts -- no rough cuts. --Cut the work oversized, then cut to final dimensions. --Bevels were tricky and needed to sneak up on the "final" degree. Even with a Fe$tool, I found it is easier to get the bevel right the first time on my table saw and feather boards. Have a feeling that what you are trying to do with a worm drive saw will be an exercise in frustration as the saw is just too big and bulky. Any friends with a table saw? RE: Accurate Edge Angles - Cooler - 11-10-2017 Chamfer bits (for a router) come in various angles. If one of them works for you, then first rip a 90 degree cut and then go at it with a router. There are also "canoe" router bits that mate at various angles: RE: Accurate Edge Angles - BobW - 11-12-2017 (11-07-2017, 06:27 PM)D_Harris Wrote: I've been locked out of this forum for almost another year. So now I can get back to this thread/project.Let me get this straight...you were trying to figure out how to make a precision bevel cut using a worm drive Skilsaw, which is basically a framing tool, because you don't want to drag out your heavy and noisy table saw. And now, a year later, you are still working on the same project and trying to figure it out. So why were you locked out for a year? And you said earlier in the thread that you were locked out before. Maybe I'm missing something here!

I only asked about the accuracy I'd get using my Skil saw in the first post to determine if it was plausible. Subsequent responses seem to indicate that it is not. I do have a Delta TS200ls table saw. But I now also have pesky neighbors who will complain at the slightest noises. Perhaps there is a problem with my account. But it took 1/2 dozen e-mails over the last year just to get admin to respond to me once. He finally told me that he rarely check that account. (That's the "contact us" admin contact form link at the bottom left of this page). Lastly, I never start a project until I'm sure all questions are answered. (So I don't get stuck before it's completion). Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. RE: Accurate Edge Angles - Cooler - 11-14-2017 (11-13-2017, 07:15 PM)D_Harris Wrote: Yes. You're missing a lot. RE: Accurate Edge Angles - D_Harris - 12-01-2017 No, I can't shoot the neighbors because the noise would just give them something else to complain about. I don't know Acoustimat would be enough on the floor. Nevertheless, I've been working on designing a custom jig for my router table, which seems to be my best option. Thanks.

If it was for constantly asking strange questions and then never really using any of the advice offered....I understand.

RE: Accurate Edge Angles - Ray Newman - 12-06-2017 What am I missing here? You said you did not want to use your table because it is too noisy and the neighbors will complain. So you are designing a jig for your router table. What makes you think a router will be any quieter?

(So I don't get stuck before it's completion). So with all the questions you have asked here in the last two years.....You haven't started working on anything because you have more questions that can only be answered on Woodnet? That makes no sense whatsoever. |
