Hi all,
looking for some advice - have some maple glued up 3.5" x 3.5" x 12"
project requires it to be cut at a 45* along the 12" length - which should leave me with 2 right triangles each of which has both faces of ~3.5", and each is 12" long. Note I only really need one piece like this.
Hopefully that makes sense
I have table saw, jointer/planer, bandsaw, miter saw (access to other tools likely if needed).
Logical choice would be table saw - I have a Sawstop ICS. Concerned about kickback - riding the fence with the left tilt blade at 45, worried the offcut might bind between the blade and table. Rational concern?
Other thoughts are bandsaw or jointer - not confident I can accurately cut this along the bandsaw, but could try (using tilted table). Jointer would probably work using tilted fence, but again not confident I can do it accurately.
Any suggestions/thoughts? Thanks!
(for those curious, a co-worker asked me to make a jig for her box stitching hobby).
