I Need To Cut A 75 Degree Angle, But My Compound Miter Saw Only Go’s To 45 Degrees?
How does this work. Do I invert and cut the 15 degree… I
Its for a corner brace on the inside corners of a row boat. I used my sliding T bevel, to get the looking down angle, for the corner ( left to right or horizontal angle ) but then there is the angle in the walls of the boat. That slight angle that is up to down or vertical angle as the walls of the boat chamfor.. Thankyou
So you’ve got the look-down angle and you can cut a piece of scrap to check that that’s right, then you scribe top and bottom on your scrap with a 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch inset so you can see what angle you need from top to bottom? This is the 75 degree that you are talking about?
If so then, when you invert (assuming the top and bottom faces are parallel) you still have a 75 degree angled cut don’t you? Why not just cut for the look-down, offer it up and scribe then hand-plane?
Since 15 degrees is the complementary angle, use that instead. It will yield the same results if you position your board properly in the saw.
Yes, just flip it over and do the 15 degree cut. It’s the same thing.
