Derekkest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 So I looked at the American Eagle bit of the month on the main page. That set is pretty cool but one catches my eye. The 45° bit I assume will give me a perfect 45° cut on the edge of my board? If so, oh the time I can save when making frames!!!!!....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 even better, make a shooting board. Much tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekkest Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 What is a shooting board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddlermike Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 a 45 degree bit is more for chamfering. If you were trying to use it to miter the ends of a board, it would be limited in size of board, not to mention pretty unsafe to try and run a significant chunk of end grain over that bit. If you're interested in making picture frames, then I would suggest a good compound miter saw, or a higher quality miter guide for your table saw. You could use a home made miter sled on your TS, and trim up the miters using a bench plane and shooting board like vic mentioned. shooting board article: http://www.fineboxes.com/ShootingBoard.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Slack Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thank you for that post on the shooting board. I looked at the one posted on the article on FWW related to small boxes and between both I will come up with the best one. I also saw online the "super chute" where the running board is made out of a composite material but I don't feel like buying a shooting board. Thanks again.
