Jig for ripping greater than 45
skippy
| Posted in Jigs, Fixtures, Tips & Tricks on
Finishing up a pine t&g finish on a vaulted ceiling. The inside is a 3.5/12. I would like to finish the peak off with 4″ wide board running the length of the peak. My problem is the angle cut necessary to get a clean finish is far beyond a 45.
Question- Before I rack my brain and trial and error it, is there a “simple” way I can set up a jig for my table saw that will allow me to run boards through so I can get that >45 degree angle cut?
As always, thanks for the help.

Skippy,
If I understand your problem, it can be overcome by standing the stock on edge, face against the fence,and leaning the saw blade to match the pitch of the ceiling. Run both edges, and there y'are.

I also suggest standing the board up. When we do this with shortish boards, we then clamp a straight board across the back of them along the top of the fence. As the miter gets cut, short boards can drop into the blade, ruining the accuracy of the cut. The guide board clamped on and running on the fence keeps the board being cut from dropping.
You might also make a feather board to keep your board tight against the fence. You won't want it drifting out, either.

Assuming you have a right tilt saw, also assuming the angle you want to cut is 70°.
Move the fence to the left of the blade, set the blade angle to 20°. 90° minus 70°=20°.
Make your rip to width you need.
