Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] cutting an angle
Kevin, I never bother with scribe lines. After
getting the angle with the sliding t square, I
put one side against my table saw and the other
side of the square against the miter gage. Once
I have it lined up, I lock the miter gauge. then, I make the cut.
