Hey all, I thought I'd share a jig I made today for my table saw.
I've cut a couple cabs with Leo style angled fronts. They've always been difficult to manage on the table saw because of the size of the cab. So, I decided to make up a jig to do the tapered cuts. I used a 1/2" thick piece of MDF about 12" x 24" for the base. I added a 3/4" thick toe board on each end and a stop in the middle for support. Then I added a clamp to secure the cab during the cut. It turned out pretty well and made the cuts easier than ever before.

Once the taper cut is made on each side of the front, the top cut is made by angling the table saw blade. After some high school math, I came up with 25 degrees.
-
The results were satisfactory when I did a test fit. The 25 degree angle is very close to parallel with the chassis face.

Very nice! I would have been nervous making those cuts after the dovetails were done.

Good point. Maybe I'm going about the process in the wrong order. Anybody cut the sides to shape before assembling the box?

It is not a problem if you measure twice and you cut once.
Sonny Reverb do a good job.
This is probably not the best way for mass production, but here it does not matter,
Job well done Sonny Reverb :worthy1:
