just finished watching Miller custom cbg make a fret beveling file.  Can do but my table saw will not tilt to a 35 degree angle.  What is the trick?  Just make a 45 degree angle?

cut it backwards on a 60 degree  if you can  or set the saw on 45 and use a 10 degree blank under your peace to give you the angle you need

i just have the fretboard about 3/4 inches above the height of my workmate then run a large flat file (no handle) along the length of the fretboard at a 45 degree angle, easy! (-:

Thanks to Damon.  Got it figured out and set my table saw at 35 degrees.  35 does comes before 45, sometimes I think I'm brain dead.  Thanks to those who did'nt give me a nasty note.  Turned out great.  35 on one side and 90 degree on the other side for finish work.  :)

Well since no one else has posted any suggestions, I warn you it may not be worth your time listening to my advice.

I say go for it. Do it the way you can.

It cannot end up looking much worse than my hand filed frets.
