You'd almost have to read the manual or ask someone that can see. Some miters have more than others. I think I have 5 stops each side on my Dewalt. 3 I know are there are 22.5, 30 and 45. 45 is typically the last stop each way. 0 and 90 are going to mean the same on a miter saw, that is when you lay a square against the fence and the blade runs along the other leg.

Hi ya, I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I've just never asked anybody to explain the degrees or numbers on each stop on my delta compound sliding miter saw. When I use it, I just throw what I am trying to copy up there and set the saw by that, or else, I'll figure it as best I can with my hands. I did go out and stick my square on there, and lined up blade so that it was at true middle or strait, or 0 or whatever you call it. Then I worked it through it's clicks to the left and right and counted. There seems to be 4 or 5 set stops which the table clicks into on either side. So you'd figure what, 10 degrees for each click? This saw also has a locking nut, which you can loosen and push it over to one side. What is that, if you have it laid all the way over? 45? 90? I read through the file from the list's web sight... love those files by the way. This was a file about cutting angles with the table saw. Still, I need more info. Thanks, Matt [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
