Hi all,

I need your advice about how I can bevel the underside of a table top.
I want to bevel the end grain sections (right and left sides of the table, not the front and back). About 2 inches, straight, and shallow angle.

I guess a hand plane is the easiest thing, but this wood (I don't know what it is. I picked it up in a local store few years ago) is incredibly heavy and hard. I can't imagine hand plane it cross-grain.

The bevel is too long for routers.
If the table top is small, I would use my bandsaw, but it's too heavy and large for that.

I just got a shaper but I don't have a cutter for that. Maybe a straight cutter for raised panels will do? If the bevel length is two inches, I assume the cutter diameter needs to be at least 5 inches....

I wonder how you are doing this kind of operation. Your inputs would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
