Hi Ed My piece of plywood was 0.08" wider than the belt sander. With h =index.html 0.08 the bevel was 1/20. I have glued a thin piece of wood under the "bedplate" '(?) so h = 0.16" with a bevel =1/13. Actually, to change the bevel, you just have to put a plywood strip larger than the guide under it. The guide must be maintened by clamps. The belt sander will glide along the guide and on the plywood strip. Change the bevel with the thickness of the strip. Anyway for the Fly baby, we just need a 1/12 bevel. About the bond of the scarf : the surfaces obtained by the belt sander are perhaps too smooth : as if to glue the hardwood (ash), the bond may be improved by making grooves in , by scraping with a piece of hacksaw I live at Jouy sous Thelle , a little village at 60 km in the north of Paris.
