To do A you've have to hold the rail at an angle.

The leg is maybe harder depending how the mortise is made.


If you precut the rail/stretcher end to the required angle (7 degrees in
this case), they (leg and rail) are both easy, 90 degree plunges.

"B" is trickier, less precise IME, and requires a much longer bit.


With a router you mean? How does one keep a router on the tiny
surface of the end of the rail?
