2 Easy Ways to Make Extreme Miter Cuts

It's a shame that hitting the like button more than once is not possible. You know what; you are the best woodworking channel from your continent. I'm serious. Your every video is a gem. You are a school to me. Thank you.

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this video! I'm doing staircase chair rail and frame molding and wasted about 16ft. of material trying to figure out how to cut a 64-degree angle on my miter saw. You saved the day....my project came out perfect after watching your video!

You just made me feel smart. I needed to make a 60 degree cut on my saw that maxed out at 45. I came up with that idea all by myself. That geometry law about the angles of a triangle adding up to 180 is what helped me. Happy now that my geometry teacher was a real hard ass.

Good advice! I prefer the second way

Sure did help thanks.

do not get it.!

but you are not showing how you placed the piece of wood you cut to get the acute angle . you are showing the finished MDF cut piece!!!

Im trying to make flag display cases. The angles are 22.5 degrees but need to also be identical in length. Also to note my pieces are cut standing up not laying flat as i need the depth once put together. Any good ideas on this. Im having a bit of a problem as they all need to exact in length also..

always straight to the point!

I’ve more or less freehanded these types of cuts my whole career with mixed results lol. (40 years omg) Thanks for making it easy.

I like your videos

You explain calmy and clear

Nice solution. I will keep it in mind in the future. Last time I had to make a narrow angle cut I ended up using the tapering jig on my table saw.

Hello, I hit the link to your double-sided tape and I got "this site cannot be reached. What is the name of the tape?

Very helpful, thank you. Good presentation too, no drama, just sound advice. Subscribed.

perfect !great tip

Your double side tape trick for acute miter cuts with jig saved my sanity! Thanks!

Great stuff. Is there safe and effective way of cutting an acute angle on long pieces of timber... over ten feet long?

I love the video! Too bad that they don't ship to my country (the Netherlands). Any alternatives that are available overseas?

How about if I needed a 65 degree bevel cut on the end of a 5/4x12 board?

Great explanation!!!

I love a good practical guide to a useful technique, like this one.

Neat sir, thank you!

Hello Im new here and thanks for sharing. Could you tell me about the rubber shoot for dust collection on your Dewalt?

Very well explained. Your videos make me regret not learning more geometry in my younger years. Very helpful tips.

You're a talented woodworker and craftsman, but I have to say that you're a better teacher... and I intend that as a compliment. At this point, I never click, 'Watch later' on your content because your whole channel is nothing but solid, great stuff for those situations we all have in the shop where we scratch our heads and wonder how we're gonna finesse our way out of an impossible situation.

Love these "super tips" videos~! Please keep 'em coming~! Thanks much~!

Smart!!

What brand/type, (exactly), of two-sided-tape, do you find works best? I thought of doing this long ago, but did not think the adhesive on any of the double-sided tape that I had experience with, would be sufficient for work-holding. Also, this tablet will not show the "description" that you mentioned... Hee hee, or maybe I just do not have this tablet "quite enough", figured out yet!
Thanx!

Brilliant!

How would you make this repeatable? For example, if you wanted 65 degrees on both ends, but you wanted that piece copied 4 times and all are exactly the same length?

Any chance you can do a detailed video on your chopsaw dust shroud? Really captures a lot more dust compared to the standard shrouds on the desalt saws. Is it homemade or an aftermarket kit? Cheers

wich saw are you using?

I needed this a week ago.

I am amazed at the way you come up with woodworking tip`s. It`s is a tremendous help to us that are novices and i `am sure woodworkers that are well knowledged in woodworking.

Ok but what if I need a cut longer than can be done on a miter saw?

Jamie, as usual you've presented a fantastic video explanation/tutorial and this one was really helpful. Thank you!

Great explanation!

Well done. Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂

Excellent.

Thank you for this Tip . 👍, I push the Abo Button .

Dude,,, the way you explained things makes it so very easy to understand I would have said and cut boards all day long and never came up with a 65 degree cut but after watching you do it, it's so very simple thank you for explaining to us lesser experienced wood butchers how to do it

Love your videos!! Your tips and tricks are simple and easy to follow. Please keep them coming.

thanks

Awesome tick/tip!

Why not just rotate the board by a full 90° and subtract subtract the steep angle, set the saw to that number of degrees? No secondary fence needed. Double stick tape still highly recommended though. 90 - 65 = 25…

A real clear and concise explanation. We do have jobs where we have to cut a lot of extreme angles. We use the second method that you showed because of the frequency that we need to make these cuts. The 45 degree false fence is usually held down by the mitre saw clamp although I think we will try “your” tape method. That false fence is about 1” thick which allows us to mount a toggle clamp to it. So, we introduce the piece of trim or cladding to be cut to the saw and clamp it down with that toggle clamp; cut and release. The only advantage of our method is speed if you are making repetitive extreme angle cuts. If it’s just one or two and we didn’t have that false fence to hand, then tape would be the answer.

Well, this is cool. I will definitely mentally note this!

Gotta love options.... you're a video-making machine right now, Jodee. Keep bangin 'em out! Great content!

Nice video. Gotta remember the double sided tape trick as ive been doing the painters tape/CA glue thing -- which works -- but this is quicker.
