Been using the tilt feature making wedges. The first shows the different possible combinations putting them together. Triangles, flips, and left and right cuts. The jig is fixed for 16 segment wedges, turns out I can also cut for 32 segments by dumb luck the way I set the fences.
I wanted to mix wedges cut at 90 and with a tilt. The second picture shows flipped wedges stacked and std cut wedges. Not great; the std wedges tend to look like stave construction.
Third is cut on one fence (right leaning wedge?). This is also a mix of std wedges and tilt, like this one more. The “transition” is made by cutting a wedge on the tilt and at 90 degrees.
The last shows two sides created with one half in std, and the other as tilt.
Large ones are about 9” and smaller ones are about 5”.
