I'm trying to cut this shape accurately and with a view to batch out lots of them but struggling to get any accuracy or repeatability.
Its base is 40mm which tapers to 20mm at the top 65mm high with a 15mm hole at the top.
I first cut it into 40mm x 65mm block then drilled the hole in the centre; then using my tracksaw I cut the first 2 tapers (block lying on its side) but the next 2 is where it becomes problematic as I can't support the track on top and you can see from the photos that's it's not square or perfectly lined up.
I can imagine it being easier on a table saw... ripping a long board with the 2 side angles (block standing up) then cross cut to final size.
I only have a tracksaw/mft and small bandsaw does anyone have any tips guidance?
Thanks
