NOTE: The instructions given here are for templates mounted to the base of the jig. However, this joint can also be
made with templates mounted to angled clamping boards. You must use the angled clamping board for steeper
angles.
Use the following table for setting up your table saw for these cuts:
DESIRED SIDE ANGLE
85°
80°
75°
70°
65°
SETUP
Use the same setup as you would for the obtuse angled joint. Use the blade tilt angle for making the angle insert or
the angled clamping block. Bevel the edges according to the drawing (Fig. 63A).
Step 1 -
Cut the end of the tail board according to the drawing (Fig. 64A). Set the miter gauge and tilt the blade to
the values in the above table. Make the first cut with the board flat on the table surface and guide it with
the miter gauge (Fig. 64B). Make the second cut with a tenoning jig (Fig. 64C).
