I was gifted this piece of wood which is intended as a holder for cell phones and touch pads, I presume. Evidently it was done en-masse and not a one-off, as it was a giveaway for a major credit card platinum edition.
How do you go about making this?
I have wracked my brains and cannot imagine a single pass with a single cutter router-type bit or dado blade.
The slant is 15 degrees, the vertical depth 0.530" and the width horizontally is .6" and slanted edge to edge about .57"
My best guess takes at least three devices with multiple passes.
A 15 degree dovetail for the right edge, a couple of passes with the sawblade to clean out the bottom groove (or a pass with a thin straight router bit) and a 15 degree conical router bit to do the left hand edge. But there's no grooving on the bottom that would indicate changing bits.
I can only imagine a custom Dado blade (standard dadoes have bottoms perpendicular to the walls) with the arbor tilted 15 degrees and the single 0.57" wide blade bottom having a cant of 15 degrees
