Cutting at an angle. - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Jaeg · 07-10-2012, 06:33 PM

Hi, I've been messing around with the scroll saw this summer. So far I've made a chess set and a Star Trek tricorder. I want to make a new tricorder that looks better and I have a question about cutting at a specific angle.

Here's the pattern:
Side Template

Here's the piece: Example piece

Now the triangle part at top gets cut out and a flatter piece glued in. My problem is getting the angle from the bottom of the piece to the flat spot on top. Sorry if I don't make sense because it's kind of hard to describe.
