I'm trying to build the octagonal taburet table is the Arts & Crafts Furniture You Can Build book. My problem is that I need to cut some 3" x 3/4" through mortises in the legs for the cross pieces (pegged tennon). The plans call for the mortises to be angled at 8 degrees. I tried using my drill press (after fighting to get the table to tilt) with a 3/4" bit, but it came out looking pretty rough. I've tried to clean it up with a chisel, but I can't seem to keep the angle right.
Does anyone have any suggestions on an alternate way of cutting these buggers?
Thanks in advance.
