I want to cut clabboard siding panels for doll houses. If there is a way to tilt the router head about 15 degrees it would be fairly simple to run parallel cuts with a .5" end mill. Has anyone tried this or are there other ways to make such a cut?

How about a 150 deg. v-bit?

Instead of rotating the router, rotate the material you are cutting. Place it on an inclined surface then calculate how far up and over each pass must be.

Oops. I guess I missed the word "panels". I have to agree with Jay that rotating the workpiece would be the way to go.

Simpler is always better, thanks Jay.

Phil,
If you did as Jay suggests, with an angle of, say, 10º, then used a 12º or 14º dovetail bit, you would get the effect of a slight undercut, which might look more realistic as seperate boards.

Thanks Mike,

sounds like an excellent idea.
