Question: cutting mitre joints in plywood panels without a table saw
Hi,
apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I've had a good search attempts in this forum and in the Hand Power tools forum and couldn't find the information I'm after.
Some background:
I want to use 19mm veneered plywood to make cupboards to store my stereo equipment and vinyl records. A typical cupboard would be 1200mm high x 600mm wide x 550mm deep and made of plywood panels.
I plan to use biscuits to join the panels together and for the top I was thinking of mitred joints using biscuits for strength - this means I don't have to veneer the edges of a top surface.
My question is: how do you make a long mitre (45 degrees angle) cut across the end of an 18mm plywood panel that is typically 550mm wide, if you don't have a table saw?
I have read other forum members' posts that describe furniture they made with these types of joints, but I can't find an explanation of the techniques they used, and how they ensured the cuts were accurate. Hence I'd be grateful for help on this.
Regards
Paul
