An angle table is a guide for cutting materials at defined angles, made by craftsmen. It can be used during the cutting process or as a marker. It helps create consistent cuts and is useful in woodworking and carpentry for trim cuts.
An angle table is used as a guide for cutting other materials at defined angles. It can be used during the actual cutting process or as a marker to draw cut lines on the material before it is actually cut. It can be made by a maker or an artisan. Regardless of the manufacturer, an angle table is a useful asset in any woodworking environment where material must be cut repeatedly at the same angle.
Usually an angle board is about 12-24 inches (30-60 cm) long and 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) wide, with each end cut at a different but commonly used angle. Typically the boards are cut at 45 degree angles on one end and 33 degrees on the other. The board should also have different angles cut along its length, making it usable for proper angle marking, regardless of angle or material.
Most corner guides are made by craftsmen in their own shops, so they are designed for corners that the manufacturer uses frequently. If the craftsman is working on creating objects such as frames, he may have to make the same cut several times on different pieces of material. In these cases, he would use an angle table to make the final cuts, making them all at the same time to increase efficiency.
When an angle table is used during the cutting process, it is usually held over the material being cut so that the angle the material must travel through the saw is maintained during the cut. The angled end of the board is held against the fence, or saw guide, which is set to ensure a consistent and even cut. This allows the user to make a consistent cut without having to hold the material on a drawn line the entire time it passes through the saw. Through the use of the corner panel, the user can create angled cuts in their material so they can be joined as flush as possible, with no gaps or inconsistencies.
In carpentry, an angular panel can be used during the finishing process. It can help the user ensure that the trim surrounding doors and windows, as well as base panel moldings, is accurate and consistent so that the trim itself matches its counterparts as neatly and cleanly as possible. This is an essential part of the trim process and an angle board is often used as a guide for most trim cuts.
