Hello, I want to make a box with mitred corners, with the aim to have the grain continuous around the box. I have resawn some pieces of jarrah to give me the sides. Each piece has a front and a side which need to be aligned correctly to give the continuous grain. I have made a mitre sled for the table saw, with hold-down clamp, and that cuts it nice and square.
The problem is with a 3.2mm kerf crosscut blade turned at 45 degrees, the cut takes out 4.5mm out of the timber. It has to be fully raised to cut through properly on both sides.
The first cut is across one piece, giving a front and side, then turn one of these over to do the next mitre cut facing the correct way. By the time you do both sides of the joint, you have lost the continuity of the grain around the box sides.
Can anyone please suggest any ideas and suggestions on how to do this 45 degree cut properly with minimal loss of timber to retain that continuous grain appearance?
