Planing Tapered Blanks
In the latest shop notes there are plans for a hardware cabinet with
tapered drawer pulls. The author makes the tapered blanks by building a sled to hold the blanks at the proper angle as they travel through the thickness planer. The sled does not travel. Questions: Has anyone tried something similar? Results? Tips? I would think the surface of the sled would have to be slick to avoid having the blank "jam". Any thoughts appreciated. Ron |

Planing Tapered Blanks
JOAT,
It sure looks like it from the picture. The "sled" (their word not mine) looks like a big T-square with the square registered against the infeed table of the planer. The directions say to tape the "sled" to the infeed table. It seemed to me (as it does to you) that the fixture holding the blank at the proper angle should travel with the work. Ron |

I haven't seen it but the fixture that holds the piece at an angle would
have to travel with the piece. "Ron Robinson" wrote in message m... In the latest shop notes there are plans for a hardware cabinet with tapered drawer pulls.
