Drawer guide

Jan 10, 2006 2 Replies

Cant figure this one out. I need to replicate a drawer guide from an old dresser. It looked easy to do at first until i looked at the angles involved. I thought that all I would need is a 18o dovetail bit, but the angle looks more like 25o. Do they make a 25o dovetail bit? How else could this be done? Photo attached in ABPW.



Thanks.


Set your table saw for the required bevel cut, and clean it up with a chisel?Tom

S-h-h-c-a-ww-a-p. That was the sound of my hand hitting my forehead.

JeffB in ABPW turned a light on in my head. It's not a dovetail profile, but the bottom portion of a 25o chamfer bit.

Doh!!
