Assembly:
1. Reset saw blade on table saw to left side of the blade.
Adjust saw blade to 40 degree angle.( blade angle may vary
To suit the bevel of how you want your fret ends to be.)
Set table saw fence to 1 and 1/2 inch width. Make one pass.
The idea is to cut the bevel without reducing the width of your
Piece.
2. Step two, set saw blade back to 90 degrees.
With fence still on left side set fence width to 1/8th inch inside
of beveled edge.
3. Step three, turn piece over so groove side is up and insert mill file into
groove. Epoxy file into place or shim tight with masking tape
on edges of file and fit tight.
