I did this the poor man's way on my home shop by gang clamping all the rafters together, nailing on a fence, and running my circular saw at an angle - or actually several angles, several passes. Anyone have any experience with one of those hand held oscillating spindle sanders? My Bosh jig saw has a blade called the "Progressor" that is long enough so it’s just a matter of how much it will deflect. I am doing this as a side adventure in woodworking so losing $4,000.00 wouldn't work out.
#DECORATIVE RAFTER TAILS PORTABLE#
Mafell makes a portable band saw for that type cut also but very pricy. I think the long Festool blades fit the Bosch jig saw but not sure if they cut as good. We just cut some curves and notches in a 3 1/4" thick bar top with a Festool jig saw. So, the question is, does anyone have a better tool to cut curves in thick material that is too long and heavy for the band saw? I tried to get information on a tool called a Portaband and it seems as though that machine is made for cutting steel to length and doesn't have any sort of table/base to hold it at strictly 90 degrees to a surface while scroll cutting. I can foresee that the blade will wander out of square to the face even in a soft wood like cedar at this thickness. This is a pain because the stocks (western red cedar/tight knot) actual measurements are 2 5/8" x 5 5/8".

I am sure it will be impossible to use any of my band saws to scroll the end of a 10 footer so with my tools the jig saw seems the only alternative. Unfortunately, the contractor wants to receive the work from me in the form of 10 foot long pieces scroll cut on both ends so that he has some latitude in cutting these pieces to final length before cutting the birdsmouth’s and "sistering" them to the rough fir framing. I landed a job cutting a scrolled pattern on all the rafter tails for a tudor styled house soon to be framed.
