Won't work on a Shopsmith. Inadequate depth of cut. Dotted line is at 3.5".

I think this could be done using a near-horizontal router setup on the Mark. I don't recall ever running that small a bit at low speeds, but still thinking it could be made to work. Better with a PowerPro, but still kinda slow.(?) I think the OP has changed to 15 degrees off the other axis, a simple table saw setup.

Thanks to all for the replies.
Depending on how you measure the angle, the sketch depicts 15 degree slots. Fifteen degrees with reference to which surface?
He is saying 15 deg on the Shopsmith trunnion scale (where 0 = perpendicular to the table) or 75 deg to the table.

that shouldn't be too difficult . tilt the fence so the wood rides along the fence and not drifting away from it ? as long as the table is big enough to get the right number of slots ?
