Found An Answer for Bevel Cuts on the BT!!!!!
By using a couple of correctly placed sacrificial fences, bevel cuts can easily be made with any Right-Tilt saw!
In this approach, the bevel being cut is the edge nearest the rip fence. If doing mitering, all pieces be cut (square) to finished size BEFORE this mitering operation is done. The board closest to the fence is relieved at the bottom to allow the cutoff fall into it and away from the blade -- the blade also makes a small groove in this fence. The Second board acts as a hold-down for the workpiece. This approach is detailed in FWW #129 March/April 1998, P63.
If this works for mitering, then a bevel cut is a piece of cake. The author expresses caution using this method -- in that kickback is still possible -- IOW do not stand behind the saw when making this cut. IOOW: read the article.
Hooray! My work is done, found an answer. Thoughts?
