Xray Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I tend to stack cut, a lot. Just about everything that I do I stack, up to 1.5 inches. Well I am cutting these objects, and they have a beveled edge. Test cut one at about 25 degrees, came out just right. So I'm all geeked, and set up a stack of 4 1/4 inch pieces to cut the same pattern. Top one was great, problem is, each one under got a little bit larger, and the bottom one was almost an inch bigger than the top. Pretty obvious what happened when you stop to think about it. The angled blade cuts right on the line at top, as it angles down it cuts out further and further towards the bottom. Size is pretty critical with these things ,,, I don't see any way around it. I'll just have to cut 1 at a time. This is the Excal by the way, where the head tilts instead of the table. I wonder if a table tilter would do the same thing ? I'm thinking, no it wouldn't, since the blade itself will be straight, it won't have the graduated over-reach that the angled blade does.

mikesscrollsaw Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 It will do the same thing with a table angle. Thats how you do inlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Dang. I guess the only way then would be to precisely stagger the stack so that they end up being the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
