Question

x-no-archive:yesI am building for my mom a self standing knive drawer with butcherclock cutting board on top. The plans in my book call for the falsedrawer front to be about 10 inches long and 2 and 1/4 inches wide. Itdoes not call for it but could I cut the drawer front similar to theway you cut for a raised panel so it matches the drawers in my kitchenor is this wood not wide enough? (You know the "bevel" look on thedrawer face for lack of a better term. Can you give me advice on how toset up a table saw for this? My book shows how but only for raisedpanel cuttign a larger piece of wood such as a door.

Is now.1. Tilt saw blade2. Bevel ends3. Bevel sidesNOTE - "Bevel" means that you are not cutting through the full thicknessof the wood.

Use a ZCI, specially made for your bevel angle.  Tom

At some point in your life - both woodworking and regular - you are going to have to make a decision all on your own. It makes little difference whether you use a saw or router (about which you did not ask) except that most router bits that bevel are 45 degrees. If that's what you want, fine; if not you can either buy a router bit with a different bevel (limited choice) or use your saw.

As far as what angle for the saw blade, that is entirely optional. WTF angle do you want? Make a decision...

Why don't you start doing a little research on your own? I expect my 5 yr old grandson to ask how to do everything, but by the time he's 10, he better be doing some research on his own, not asking for every step like you do.
