A chamfer an edge loosens some strict design without cluttering it. Chamfers are welcome with modern furniture. Usually create chamfers with the router, spindle molder or on the milling table. If you like work by hand, can attach quickly once a small facet with a plane. You can bevel but also saws.
The easiest way to cut phase seems to come to guide the work piece at an angle the blade against the parallel RIP fence along. This circular saw reviews already works. However, you would have to make several settings for different work piece sizes. Should a chamfer is to be attached to multiple edges of a work piece, so you must also look, exactly that meet the chamfers on the corners. They do not, rework is announced.
But there is a more elegant method for implementing but first need to build a simple auxiliary fence himself. The fence consists of two plywood strips, which are glued to an angle. The strips must be as long as the fence of your table saw and approximately 50 mm wide.
This angle, attach the fence of the saw. The fence is positioned so that the horizontal standing leg is flush to the top of the work piece to be cut. Now, the blade is tilted. In contrast to a chamfer milling cutter in the router you can choose the entire angle here. The riving knife stays on the saw. The auxiliary fence is used as a blade guard, this operation despite dismantled chip hood remains secure.
The cutting height of the blade is set as high as possible but not so high that the auxiliary fence is cut. The size of the chamfer can be changed now by the moving of the parallel stop.
The resulting sections cannot jam between saw blade and fence. It is no matter what dimensions your work pieces have. The chamfer is always the same size. Even round and curved work pieces can be beveled so as long as the bow is facing outwards.
Cutting chamfer has two advantages over milling. It will cut much less material. A router must sometimes very difficult work with chamfer Mills to mill large chamfers. A saw is there much easier. In addition, much larger chamfer can be created with the best circular saw. So, for example, very large and flat chamfer, for example to beam can be cut. That's not going to make a router.
To use table saws this way, once you've found your first noticed it, it is worth to build a slightly more elaborate attack at some point with security. Meantime, I have an aluminum angle; I can easily attach and adjust the height. He comes to me quite often used. Who knows, maybe use soon also such auxiliary fence and your bevel cutter takes a long break more often.
