Good I see some people have posted some ideas for me! I have determined the angle to be about 12 deg. I checked my router bits and I don't have a 12 deg dovetail..... I don't even know if they make that angle.

Dewy you sure are right about having a machine that can tilt.... that and a wide (.75") dovetail with the right angle would make short work of this. To bad I don't have one.

Jeff12002 I will have to look at that.... The width of the angle cut would be in the range of 3/4" so you would have to make two passes and adjust depth so getting things to match up might be real trick. But it might be the only game in town.

I don't use a router for everything so I have no problem with using a saw.... but the darn angle is not right...... if it were 90 deg. this would be a piece of cake. Maybe going back with a router to finish the cut and get the angle would work?????

Anyway I did a sketch of the router idea to show the problem....

Thanks guys!

I'm still open to ideas.....
