   Try making two passes on your table saw.  Tilt the blade to the necessary angle and depth for the first cut, then reset the blade to 90* and run a second pass to remove the waste.  That should be just what you need.

   The single piece construction causes a few problems, but I rotated the thing about to see if anything occured to me. I came to a similar conclusion as Dave, but I don't think you can do it completely on the TS unless you don't mind not having a sharp inside corner. I think you'd have to set the blade slightly shallow on both cuts then complete the inside corner with a sharp chisel. You'll have to put the fence on the side of the blade that's titling though, so take suitable precautions.

   Waddaya mean it wont fit through the door?

   Doug,
   He can do it easily on the table saw-but if the inside edge is critical then one of the cuts should be stopped a hair short, the waste piece then broken out, and the intersection cleaned up using a chisel in scraping fashion, or a piece of scraper steel ground accordingly.

   PBURGETT,

   If you have a molding cutterhead for your tablesaw, you might consider grinding a set of flat cutters to the appropriate angle to mill out the recess. 

   I did this to be able to cut dovetails on the ends of drawer rails, and have found several other uses for the shape as well.

   Ragards,

   Ray,
   If I remember correctly, Pb has a shaper. I did not suggest he make that profile on the shaper because it is not worth grinding cutters for just one short length- ditto for your own suggestion which would also work well enough.

   How many linear feet of this molding do you need?  If it's dozens or hundreds, previous posters have shown you the way.  If you need 10 feet or less use a chisel and mallet.  You'll be done before you can set a machine up.

   Thanks for all the suggestions.  I only need 10 feet.  I used the tablesaw and finished up with a chisel.

   Thanks again.
