In Response To: Re: Strip: Putting a 5 deg. bevel on strips (Rob Macks / Laughing Loon CC&K)

: I put a 3˚ bevel on ONE edge of each strip and mark that edge with
: a pencil check every three feet
: as I cut it, so there's no confusion as to which edge has the
: bevel.

: After the strips are ripped for thickness, lay them flat and run
: one edge past the saw blade tiled to 3˚.

: If the saw is set properly and safely with featherboards to hold
: strips, this is a fast operation.

: On my designs, this amount of bevel is enough to strip 90 percent
: of the hull & deck without hand beveling.

: All the best,
: Rob

Hi Rob,

Ok, I'll try to remember this :)
