For a tight fit of a scarfing, you need the same angle for every batten. As I want to make my Main sheer moulding, I had to make 4 battens together for one moulding. So I want to have a tool for a fast and precise scarf. I have precuted the scarfing with the table saw. Then I draw an angle point 40 cm from the end of the batten. By hand I fixed this point to the edge of the wooden block- witch is secured to the bench , and pressed the batten on the sander. A small piece of plywood is good for the straightness of the sharp end of the scarf and for your fingers too. The job goes on very fast.		.
The result looks o.k.
