The FF85K Sprite

[Jim Shearer]

Before I had a router, I used a jig saw with the blade angled at 45 degrees. I don't know if this capability is typical of jig saws--mine is more than 40 yrs old, and I haven't looked at what they sell now days. And while it is possible to do it with a jig saw, I would seriously consider buying a router--unless you plan to stop after this build and won't ever have a use for it again. I keep finding new uses for my router and would hate to be without it.

Cheers, Jim

I second the router recommendation, a great tool for all kinds of DIY stuff. I have a pair of half finished uFonkens that are on hold for the time being. They are assembled except for the sides. For reasons I can't recall I did not chamfer the driver cut out and regretted it after assembly. I found a wood rasp and some sandpaper can do a pretty good job, just wouldn't want to use that approach with a 10" driver
