Buy some 40mm PSE and rip it down the length with a circular saw with the blade set at an angle. Quick lick with a belt sander once done to remove any blade marks? -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Make it, or have it made. _Don't_ rip it down by chopping something in half. There's a real risk of getting harpooned! Instead take a wide strip that's wide enough to work with safely, and rip triangular strips of the edge of it. Run the wide stock against the fence, using a push-stick. Yes, you'll need to re-adjust the blade tilt twice for each strip. |
