Great idea if you have a sliding miter saw… I have an older miter saw that doesn’t slide though. If I raised a piece of 2 by up that high, it’d rub up against the arbor nut
What I did was, once the saw was down as far as it would go, I'd tip up the forward edge of the piece I was cutting. You need to make sure you keep it straight. I would never try it when cutting at an angle. I recently bought a 10" sliding miter saw and am very happy with it.
@@johnslaughter5475 that’s 1 way to do it I guess… I normally just clamp a scrap piece of wood to the fence of the saw and flip the piece I’m cutting 180°
Excellent solution for those of use who have smaller miter saws, and especially for older, non-sliding “chop” saws. Thanks for sharing.
How simpel!! And why didn't i think of that. Thank you!
Never to old to learn something!
I usually just pick up the outside edge a bit to finish the cut.. But this is a good idea for them long board.. thanks
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Yes
Doesn't this create a slight bevel? Did you also place a piece under the far end so the cut was at a true 90 deg.?
You do have to support a long workpiece with another surface level to the mitersaw table, yes.
That's a good and expensive piece of scrabe wood

Same here

@@bpatriquin123 Yes, a stop block will work quite well.
👍🏻👍🏻
I mean....I just flip it over 🤣
Seems pretty obvious..... Once you show it. :p
