How to create 4” wide taper on raised panel
maglio
| Posted in General Discussion on
I have a customer who wants 2 raised panel doors. The panels are proud of the the door frame 3/4”. So I plan on using 1 1/4”
thick walnut for the glue up. the panels have a 4” wide taper from 1 1/4” to 1/4” . My 10” table saw cant cut that tall. Any ideas?

Rabbet plane and jack.
I've never seen a raised panel like that. If that's what the customer wants, but it seems . . . Less than attractive.
Do what you can at the tablesaw, just to conserve the elbow grease, then what JohnC2 said. You'll be able to jump a motorcycle off those panels.
It came from the customers designer
I have a shop fox molder planer but am a little nervous about running only one edge Against fence
Bulk material removal at the tablesaw and then hand plane it.
1 - Several passes with an angled dado blade .
2 - Glue a 1 inch thick with a 3 inches bevel panel on a 1 inch all around larger flat 1/4 inch thick panel .
3 - Run the panel at an angle to the 10'' blade to make a concave bevel in successive shallow cuts like making an ogee.
4 - Resaw at angle on the bandsaw .
5 - router template set on an angle using the end of a large square bit.
Use a dado set on your table saw and make a jig to hold the panel at the correct angle (from horizontal, not vertical) for the taper. Adjusting your fence after each pass, make multiple passes until the taper is complete. You could use a similar method at the router table using a bit that leaves a flat surface.
Thanks, I was thinking router also. I Was fishing for a better way.
Any of the above will work, here is another option.

That joiner set up is a keeper thanks . I tried searching the FW archive but nothing came up. How did you word your search?
The jointer is a great idea. I would do it that way.
It's especially useful if you have a lot of pieces to do. "Wide bevel"
What's a jointer?
58 years I have called it a joiner!
