I’m sorry, I’m trying to upload a picture, but to no avail. I have two pieces of wood that i’m trying to match the angles on. It’s the frontofaboat and they come together at a point. I have a gag at the bottom of the angle and I’m trying to figure out how to close the gap and match them up -- Robert M. Herring |

I’m not sure without seeing a photo, but I would use a hand plane (block) starting at the widest part of the gap and slice minutes amounts off each piece testing after each pass. I think this is called “sneaking up on the angle” Do a search here re:” miters” or “closing the gap on a miter”. Hope this helps. -- Growing older but not up! |

A picture would be helpful. I would probably use my 12” disk sander after carefully setting the angle on the miter gauge with a precision protractor -- "Heaven is North of the Bridge" |

Thanks Ralph. Here’s what I’m facing. -- Robert M. Herring |

If you can afford to cut more material off, stack both pieces together carefully with double-stick tape in between them. Make sure they’re exactly lined up with one another. Set up your miter saw to the angle you need, and cut them both at once. I think this will get both angles to be “matched”. -- Lane Custom Guitars and Basses |
