Woodpeckers new Duax Angle Drilling Table works with your drill press to deliver precisely angled holes. In this 12-minute video Jeff Farris talks about the geometry of angled legs in chairs and stools, shares his shortcut to avoid the trigonometry and shows you how to set up the Duax for perfect fitting stool legs.

NOTE about the Resultant Sightline Angle Calculator: There are instructions on the last of the four sheets. The first sheet contains a convenient table for whole-number angles in degrees and, at the bottom, an easy calculator to determine the resultant and sightline angles for any rake and splay values you enter. The second and third sheets explain the underlying math.
