Enter the fixed information:

  • Select the units you want used (inches or mm)
  • Half the width of the board.
  • The board thickness.
  • The width of your parting tool.

Then play around with the variable information. Enter:

  • How far you want to start from the edge of the board.
  • Enter the angle you want used in the starting cut.
  • Enter how much do you want to see the angle change with each cut.

Watch how the changing of the variables effects your cut, then see the angles and location of cuts that result.
