Crummy thread, I really blew it here.
However, things have been slow in the shop and so encouraged by this simple method of cutting bevels, I thought I'd try taking it to the next level and try making an offset bevel. AKA skew bevel. No real need, just an exercise.
I mounted a dividing head on top of a rotary table. The DH was set to the face angle and a little trig produced a setting for the rotab. The first pass down the center looked okay and the offset appeared correct, so I continued.
Complete and utter failure! The problem is in the rotating/shifting the table for the second and third passes. The math is a tad over my head. Okay, a big tad..
Maybe someone here has a notion on how to do this..?
