Table Saw - Woodworking 101
DreamWeb:
Thanks for your help so far, guys. It's leading me in the right direction.
DrewKaree, it's the second illustration that we're working on. The side panels of the CP.
Thanks guys!

I would definitely just draw the line on your panel and use a straightedge and a pattern bit to cut it. If you need to make an identical panel for the other side yopu can easily do it with the pattern bit as well. It is very accurate and works like a charm!
Nannuu:
If that is your only tool you can just draw a line and push it through by hand. That can be dangerous if you don't have any jig clamping though.
mmmPeanutButter:
Just make a jig like the pic attached. you can just make it out of scrap. All your cuts will be the same. The red denotes the piece to be cut. The green is the path of the saw blade, and the black is the jig.
Just rest the piece on the stop block on the jig, and slide the whole thing through the saw - making sure that the right side of the jig runs along the fence.
Am I talking crazy talk?
Jabba:
I cut mine using a Jig saw and then a sander to get the edge nice an clean.
If you were to use a table saw, then you would have to create an angled piece anyway. That would be useful if you were going to make many copies of the same cut. Prolly not worth the effort if you just need two cuts.
If you have a routter, then doc mccoy's would work equally well (and quicker).
