Best way to build wedge boxes?

[CHEMMINS 10+ year member]

Go with Don's cut sheet there. He has it all for ya. And there should be a marker on the table saw as to what angle your blade is at.

OMG DonH you are amazing.... What program did you use? if not your head?

and the top box is 1 cube? and really the bottom is 0.5??? the12volt calculator said it was "0.60061"...

edit: BTW I'm using 0.5" MDF and bracing for the big one if I build it

Lulz. I just entered the box into the12volt calc. using 3/4 and it is indeed 0.5 cubes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

So if I were to use 0.5", would it change the cuts at all for them? like for the angles... I'm sorry I didn't mention it sooner I didn't expect someone to perform such a gracious act //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I have no idea //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Her school has two, and both have the hot dog/finger sensing instant-stop technology. So I would assume they have good tilty cutting abilities //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Angles remain the same, lengths change
