    Even bigger triangle - Copy and Past

    Good day

    If you remember the post "Triangle Copy and Past"
    http://www.bt3central.com/showthread...highlight=niki

    I made bigger 45° triangle 20-11/16" x 20-11/16" x 29-1/8"

    I used an Aluminum straight edge after checking with caliper that it has consistent width.

    You can use even a plywood strip but it must be consistent in width all along.

    You can stick the straight edge with Carpet tape (if it's Aluminum like mine) or screw it (if its wooden or ply).

    You can use any width of straight edge, depends by how much you want to "enlarge" the triangle (I used 3¼" wide).

    The rest is very simple, you just chuck a bearing guided straight bit and "Copy" side after side.






    Finished all 3 sides


    Checking for 90° on a straight edge


    This is my TS


    Back to the router table with ¼" straight bit









    I had enough plywood to make 2 of them


    The strip for the base was also made very consistent in width , then, I made a groove for the triangle and glue it with CA (super glue).





    Thank you
