Hi guys
Not quite sure where to ask this question but here goes.
I want to join three pieces of plywood together but not at 90 degrees, rather at say 120 degrees. The pieces are long, 1000mm & 1200mm and then 150mm deep.
In other words a cover for my dog's kennel. The top is sloping at 30 degrees and then I want to attach two sides at the vertical and they must all meet at the one corner. The other two sides are not applicable. So the two breadboards (for want of a better word) will meet at 90 degrees at the corner but the top will meet the shorter of the two at 120 degrees and then attach to the other BB at 90 degrees. Not sure if I'm explaining myself properly.
In any case, can I do this with my Triton router in combination with my WC2k or must I cut them by hand or must I invest in a fancy jig system like the gifken ot woodrat or whatever? Also tell me if this is in the incorrect forum section.
This will be my first go at ANY joint and my first go with the router.
Here's a quick pic of what I want to do.
Thanks
Hilton
