How Do I Learn How To Use A Compound Miter Saw?
I need to do some casing/baseboard trim work and build a deck. I have never used a compound miter saw. Where would be the best place to learn while I have all 10 of my fingers? Thanks.

fourteen years in const. I have heard all the answers but the instruction manual answer is the dumbest one yet. If you have an electric saw this will be easy.Place your caseing flat and angle your table to forty-five deg.,this is called a miter cut.Placeing your base cove flat on the fence angle your table again to forty-five, this cut is called a bevel.All your corners will be out cuts,meaning you start in the face of the board angeled towards the back corner.If you are using a manual saw,follow all the same directions but watch your slots usally they are not labeled for degrees so be sure to use the forty-five slot. The best answer I ver got…practice!
you just have to practice with some scraps. its very hards to get exact measured angles
trial and error my friend. and watch those didgits.
fear no power tool. they are your friends.
