Abstract

The present invention contemplates an apparatus for producing a controlled taper cut in a workpiece. The apparatus includes a plurality of horizontal support members for supporting a slidable gantry member and a rotatable support member disposed within the gantry member in a substantially vertical position. The rotatable vertical support member is adjustable in a vertical direction within the gantry member. A router support beam is pivotally attached to the distal end of the vertical support member at the approximate midsection of the router support beam. The apparatus also includes a cutting tool slidably mounted from the support beam.
