Need to make a wide bevel/taper across the face of a 6" board that is 1.25" thick. The taper is over 4 inches, going from 1/4" to 1.25" thickness. Haven't done this before but I can see a few different ways to accomplish it...wondering if I'm thinking correctly on this or if there's an easier way...
1) jointer - glue a strip to one side of the face of the board with matching bevel used to support the board at the proper angle.
2) planer - sled with wedges supporting board over its length at the appropriate angle
3) bandsaw - angled table cut - don't like this option, difficult to support board safely
Your thoughts are much appreciated!
