Mitre saws have graduations up to 45 degrees. How would one cut angles greater than 45 degrees?
Answer:
By making a separate jig for each angle that exceeds it and clamping it to the mitre saw table in the appropriate spot. YOu'll want to measure each angle before actually making the cut. YOu go through a lot of scraps this way. You're best off to start with a sliding T bevel.
