Taking off/Flatten 3/8" Beveled edge (Sawing or Sanding...Dremel?)

1103 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Khufudude
Hey guys, So the short version is I would like to flatten the 5/16" beveled edge (could take off up to 3/8") to line up one side of this 9" x 12" (x 5/8") wooden plaque w/ a (wood) crate that I've removed the top from. (and attach together)

Right now, I do not have any power saws or sanders. Just a few diff. types of ordinary hand saws, block sander, and a new dremel (8100 8-Volt). Any Suggestions on how to achieve a flat, level edge? Thanks!

Hi dude,
That's a 2 minute job with a table saw, just have to find someone who will help. Yes, you can do this with a hand saw, but the quality will take time.

If you use the hand saw, leave the line and build a sanding block that will slide over the top while sanding the edge. That will keep your 90° edge and if your block is 8.5" long then the width off the sand paper will cover it.

Or, clamp a piece of wood at the line on each side and sand down to it. Other ways, just never did this without a table saw.
