How do I make a 45deg bevel cut on my MK V safely?

[dusty]

I think that that jig is extraordinary!


Back to cut 45s.
I was giving JUST the 45 degree cut some thought as was wondering if anyone had thought about using one of the large 45 degree router bits. There are some out there that could chamfer/bevel a 1" thick piece of stock. Are they precise enough? That allows you to use the table for the stock and maybe some feather boards, other hold downs to keep the piece from slipping and still get a precised edge.

It isl late, but that thought as been rumbling around for a couple days now as I check back on this thread.

I have two critical cuts on my project, 45 and 22 1/2. Thinking of asking Whiteside if they have or would build me a 22 1/2, if t were precise enough.

Anyway, reason(s) why this wouldn't work would be appreciated.

Thanks

I perfectly precise router bit is not all that you need. The table and fence and whatever else you use must be equally precise and stable. If you are doing this on a Shopsmith, there are many other factors that play into your cut.

I don't know how accurate you are attempting to get but I don't believe you NEED special cutters. It can be done with what you got.
