GaryMcT's 2-player generic control panel layout
Bender:
humm, that's a bit tough (ha, ha) you'd have to find a 24 degree bit that was 3/4" deep, might be tough
I'd do it on a table saw or with a straight edge and circular saw (you can set an angle up to 45 on most of those)
this is as close as I could find that is at least 3/4 deep
you could just clamp a little scrap piece of wood to the bottom to run the bearing against (definitely do it in two passes though, trying to remove that much material at once could be hard on the router and dangerous)
bkenobi:
There's one other way to do the angled cut if you are not able to do it with a table/circular saw. I don't recommend it because it's truly a PITA! But, you can use a belt sander and a couple lines marked on the top and bottom of your work piece.
I did this for one part of my cabinet that was too narrow to use my circular saw on. I should have cut things in a different order, but once it was cut, it was too late. I actually marked to two lines and then clamped a couple sacrificial boards in place to make sure I was perfectly straight. This took WAY too long compared to having the right tool/cutting in the right order. It will work in a pinch though.

Hmmm, I may have to try that. I'm not sure that I'm ready to invest in a table saw quite yet. Maybe I should stick with leaving that bit off for now.

Don't have a belt sander! (Yet!)
I sense a table saw in my future.

This one looks like it ships faster:

Good?
I think tomorrow may very well be the day where I actually try to cut a straight line using the router. :) I'm out of plywood now, so I may start in on the MDF as well.
