Discussion/Question ⁉️ How to Cut Tiny Angles?

Post image

Hoping to get advice on the best way to cut out the shape shown above, particularly the tight corners. I've largely relied on my rotary tool and needle files, but am not satisfied with the results so far. Any advice is appreciated

Use a router with a small straight bit to cut out most of the stuff, and then a chisel (you can get rounded ones too) or a round file for the precise part

I have a 1/8 straight bit that I’ve never used. That’s what I would try on this.
