I need to make a very precise cut of a 4" x 4" x 50" glue-up. Think of it as a perfect 4by4 of hard maple that is 50" long. I need to cut both ends such that they will be perfectly square to the 50" sides. In other words I should be able to put a good combination square on the base and its' length run flat against the sides (on all four sides)...
My problem is by table-saw (where I would normally make this cut) only comes up about 3" so that won't handle it. The tools that I have available to me are as follows:
1) standard 10" cabinet saw
2) 18" Rikon bandsaw
3) Pretty decent router table setup
4) lots of hand tools and power tools
5) Planer, Jointer, Drill press, Lathe (but I don't see how these would apply)
I also can most likely find a local cabinet shop or something where I can make the cut if I have to.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks,
david
