Thread: Making uneven mitre cuts

Maybe check out the metalworking part of the forum, someone may be able to assist you there.

Thanks Alan,
Yes, may need to get a new guide rail made..
Didn't expect to have to do that...lol

I have been in discussions with the Felder Agent in Perth, and he has not mentioned the Guide Rail you mention.....Maybe I didn't ask the right question?...lol...or maybe its a secret....

I have not seen the F& F jig. Will Googlise it now...

Will try and track down Derek Cohen as well. See what he came up with...thanks.

The effective slot width for any rail on the K3 is approx 11mm, the 22 mm section is not used for anything other than clamping. The F&F jig can be seen here...

A better explanation

The last link is one of a series showing several different techniques on sliding table saws.

Making a make a 45 degree right triangle from MDF that is similar to the infill used for the Felder gauge should be straight forward.
attach the protractor from an Incra miter fence to the hypotenuse and the fence to one side (a second fence for the 3rd side is available as a spare part) and you would have something very similar to the Felder gauge
