Angled dados?

[baltic_birch]

Can the shop bot do this?

Basically 3/4 inch wide and 1/2 deep at on side and 1/4 at the shallow side for the whole groove.

Currently use a dado blade in a tablesaw tilted to what angle we need.

Thanks!!

You'll probably have to tilt the material. All axes on my machine are perpendicular to each other with no easy tilt adjustments.

As (the other) Mike says.
Make a jig that holds your material at the desired angle (18º) , then cut normally.

But remember that the jig will compress the measurements perpendicular to the axis you rotate on. What I mean is - if you are rotating along the y-axis, then you'll be compressing measurements on the x-axis. You'll need to do some precise measurements (probably by trial and error) to get it right.
