I understand I can make a window cill, using bandsaw, thicknesser or table saw. I intend to try all 3 and see how I get on and what seems to suit me best.
As I have a left tilting blade, to get the angle cut for the cill I think I would have to remove remove the crown guard ( I have 100mm depth of cut ), the exposed blade would be pointing toward me and obviously a very dangerous procedure.
Someone said I could use a canted fence to safely do the cut, but lost me on that.
While eating my tea I was watching the Warwickshire College machine woodworking videos. After they finished I got linked to Stoke On Trent College and their machine woodworking videos. 1:54 into this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLeG145 ... 110.142272 he is using an angled jig with a vertical saw blade, to get the angled cut for the cill same idea as using an angled jig on the thicknesser, with the bulk cut off on the bandsaw if using the thicknesser approach, then if cutting the bulk might as well cut the whole cill on the bandsaw.
Anyway, back to the video, the quality isn't very good and I can't see the jig he made clearly. Has anyone an idea how he made the jig so I can replicate it and try this approach myself? I assume he will position the jig the same position as a short fence to prevent any binding and kickback after the cut is done?
Cheers.

I did send you an email about my progress. I bought a 125 x 60 x 30 rebate block with spurs for cutting the rebate sections. I havn't got a 100mm rebate block so could cut cill as you did in your tutorial looked at Whitehill think are a good £200 and the knives I think were 28 a pop!! I've seen a couple of dedicated 9 degree cill blocks on Ebay go for about 160. As I mentioned, I wanted to try all 3 approaches ( also cheaper ) to making the cill and clean up with a smother if need too. Though If I found I couldn't get acceptable results I would buy a 100mm whitehill rebate block if I wasn't lucky enough to find one on Ebay or possible Gumtree.
