Bevel cuts on long stock.

[ScaredyCat]

I need to make some bevel cuts on large stock. Imagine a pice of stock 1800mm long x 100mm wide, I want to bevel all the edges. The length, I think I can get away with on the table saw, with some extra hands and some support on the outfeed. The width, I'm fairly sure I can't do on the table saw and my mitre saw isn't a compound one.

Can anyone offer suggestions as to the safest and simplest way to do this?

If you are cutting several rips from one big sheet then you can bevel the ends on the t/s before ripping into strips

A router?

I'm assuming you've got loads of these to do, otherwise bevelling the end of a 100mm wide board only takes a minute with a hand plane.

^^^ I misread that. Not worth getting a router out just for the ends.

Hand plane likely wins in terms of simplest, you just mark your thickness on whichever face it is and set to work. Might even be able to beat the time a router would do it in.

How many are you doing?

Might be depending on what options are/aren't available.

But as routing would produce a lovely surface maybe it's worth doing all four bevels with the router?

If your mitre saw is a big one with a 300mm+ blade then it'll handle a 100mm cut, in which case just rest the workpiece vertically against the fence and away you go.
