    Cutting box joints at an angle

    What is the best way to set-up and cut box joints when there is a 10 degree angle on the ends of the pices you are trying to joint?

    You mean something like this?

    Not the only way, but what I did was cut the joint first, then bevel the fingers...there's a diagram in that thread that shows the process.

    (If you mean something where the corner is square but the sides lean in, I have absolutely no idea.)

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
