Cutting Angles in Plywood Sheets

A skil saw and a straight edge will do the trick. Buy a fine tooth carbide thin kerf blade for the skil saw. Skil saw is not a brand in this context, but the type of saw.

Clamp a straight-edge and use a circular saw.

If you are using veneer plywood, put a piece of masking tape over the cut line first, this will reduce tearout. (Just be careful when you remove the tape.)

I have cut large pieces of plywood on my table saw by attaching a long 3/8 x

Clamp a straight edge and use a circular saw -

But I would use my table saw for cutting the SQUARE accurately (precut a bit oversize with circular and then use the straight edge to do the corner cutoff

And remember to flip the piece so the good side is DOWN!

I have a solution which is much more fun:

You may also want to score along the cut line with a razor knife doing this extra step will eliminate tearout of fragile veneers.

Good luck with your project

YOU're a crazy dreamer!!

Well, I was ready to go out and buy your dream. But I'd have to move the Ferrari and Hummer out of the garage to make room for it.

I think I'd modify the design so that the panels joined to a solid wood 'post' at the corner. Maybe with a rabbet.

You're likely going to want to reinforce that joint in any case.
