I know a lot of people just cut a recess in the headstock or use a larger nut height, but I like the look and utility of cutting an angle into the headstock.  I've done it before using a bandsaw, but the shape is very compromised by opening the bandsaw guard that far.  I pretty much use it to cut excess and then have to rasp it down relatively flat.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a better tool or method to cutting it more precisely.. I'm probably going to make a jig for either my handsaw or table saw anyway, but a tool or different method might inspire me to make the jig better..

When I have cut my neck I place the 2 pieces in the vice together so that the angles match and rasp/file them together. This gives a much neater joint for me.
