What angle would you set your table saw to rip v groves about 1/4 inch deep? I have already built a case covered with beaded board and want to space the v groves about same distance apart as the beads .  Doors will probably be made up of glued up pine boards. Normally you overlap the doors by 1/2 inch minus 1/8 between the 2 doors is that correct. These are my first doors I have built.  Anyone built this style door and remember the angle used?

Jay those are great looking doors. You came up with a winner thanks. I got side tracked from my project at hand my compressor died and in the process of buy a new compressor. 

Hi Ken it is worth exploring as doing it in this manner it does not take a lot of tooling to build a set of doors.  A good saw blade and accurate table saw fence is jaut about all you need and it does not take a long time to build either.  Thanks for your comments on thsi project.

Jay,

I've made "V" and "U" grooved slots, milled with a router.

"V" grooves bits---45, 60 and 135 degrees, 

The "Ball End" router bits make for nice "U" grooves.

I'll entertain your approach with the "SQ" groove.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Gary, thanks for the nice compliment,  They are actually fun to build and they look good even building them from trash type wood.  I totally understand the getting side tacked part as it is a common occurrence in most things in life.  Look at it this way, it is a good excuse to buy new tools.  I'm sure that when shopping for a new air compressor you can find a new tool of which you can add to the purchase.  It happens to me everytime I go to a tool store.  Good luck with your new purchase.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
