How would you make this cut?

Use Festool products, how would you make this cut?

Looks like a perfect cut for a table saw. With my Festool CS70 that would be done in a minute with a tilted blade. Using a TS55 or a router, you would need some more work, because you need to make a jig to hold the piece at the right angle.

The looks on my phone like a typemofmdrawer with an angled side.  The side is just a square crosscut.  The angle cut the follows the front basically could be cut by clamping the drawer front vertically the the front of endmof an MFT and then figuring the ans using a rail.  The perpendicular cut then be cut by using the MFT and hinged rail while bevelling the saw.

I think I would purchase a new square before I made that cut. [big grin]

You need to make an angled platform to mount the router on and run it along the edge of the piece being cut.  I would suggest that you can work this out using sketchup.  Let me work on it a bit and see if I can work it out...

Something like this... sketchup is very good helping one figure things like this out.  You can make it as sophisticated as you want, but that is the general concept.

i wonder would a dovtail bit work for the required angle. just pass the piece up on end against a tall fence

Wrong angle, I think.

I think some people responding here missed something in the original question.

[embarassed] Yip  [tongue]  I kinda didnt take much notice of that part of the question lol

 

[woodguy7]

Instead of having a square cut on the side, put the same angle on it, but it into the back of the drawer front with dominoes !

Maybe not the answer you were looking for but it is 1 way around it.  Oh, the angled cut would be done with the Kapex

I think dovetail angles run at about 10 degrees, give or take a couple.

Or, some people thought it makes more sense to use the right tool for the job, rather than trying to cobble together a solution just because you want to use Festools for everything.  In the time it would take to make the angled sled for using a router, you could have the cuts made already using a tablesaw with a tilted dado blade.

I agree

OR use a router/trimmer with tilt-able  base  [tongue]

Good point, Bob... however, I think the challenge was how to make the cut using Festool products.  Ok, ok, a jig is not a Festool product.  My bad.

Hey, you're preaching to the choir. I think I mentioned a table saw somewhere in my first post. Festool product too.  [tongue]

I'm wondering if this is a "want" or "must" situation for the OP. Bob, I agree with you the easiest solution with the right tool is the best. Regarding the original question, I'm starting to wonder if the OP really needs to make this cut and can't imagine how or if this is another one of those frivolous questions just to enter the CXS contest.
[huh]

 

[pugilato]

Personally, I would cut the angle on the board that goes into the dado and use pocket screws.

 

[Ken Nagrod]

I would cut the side of the drawer with an FS800/2 using a TS 55 with the stock 48 tooth blade with the bevel set to replicate that of the dovetail bit used for making the drawer front using a VS 600 jointing system to clamp the front, with the OF 1010 router and your preference of the following dovetail bits:

490990, 490992, 491164, 490996, 491165, 490988, 490991, 490995 to make a half sliding dovetail while attached to a CT dust collector on an MFT/3.

This technically answers the OP's question fully and adheres to the contest rules, however, due to the complexity of this response and the lack of previous responses to truly answer the OP's question, I would humbly request that my post be given 2 chances for the CXS.  [big grin]
