- How to cut basic 45 degree angles. I show how to cut these basic angles using a miter saw and a circular or (skill saw). Whether you cut on the flat for trim or on a bevel for a box or deeper cut this video should help explain the basic ways to do it while explaining the long and short points of these cuts. I hope you learn a little something as always and remember to be safe when using your tools. Always wear proper PPE!

In less than seven minutes you explained what other videos never do in twenty. My kinda instructor! Thanks.
I try. I have a couple long ones but I have been trying to shorten them up. Thanks for watching ✊🏼
It probably has something to do with his taste in music. People who listen to punk rock are generally just better at everything than the standard issue average joe.. Construction site punkers are no exception.
Hi, Johnny Works! I want to Thank U, for helping me to cut my 1st 45 Degree Angle Cuts. I were so excited. The top piece for my Island was a little too short , but, it was nothing that some wood filler count help even. Even though I did try to cut outside of my measured marks. Thanks, for teaching me about the Short to short & Long to Long. I appreciate U! When I’m done with the next part of my Island & upload my video I’m going to Credit you for helping me in the video. Thanks, again! 🙋♀️🤗😘🙌 God Bless!
Thank you watching and I am glad the video helped you a little !!! One thing to remember when cutting materials especially with a miter saw is, if you are not 100% sure cut your piece long so you can always trim it if needed. I am guilt of not doing this on occasion but it is a good thing to practice. Good luck with your projects and Channel!!👍

Thank you Johnny! Best explanation so far. The adage “Teach less, more” really applies!
Thank you so much for the comment and for checking out the video! Good luck ✊🏼
Amazing way of teaching. Im doing 3/4 round inner and you explained perfectly by just using longpoint and short point to explain the necessary cutting angles.
Great to hear! Glad I could help a little ✊🏼
Holy shit!!! I’ve finally got it! Thanks to you and your straight forward no nonsense talking! Thanks mate from the U.K. 🍺🍺👍🏻
Hell yah!!! Congratulations from across the pond. Glad to help ✊🏼
Thank you so much Sir, you really helped out an Old Soldier. Easy to follow instructions. Keep up the Gooood work. Wade Out..
Your welcome Antonio, thanks for watching! Old soldier myself ! ✊🏼
Wow! You helped me so much!Thank you for teaching those who do not have someone to explain how this stuff works. Wanting to do something and not understanding the basics is so frustrating.
Glad to be of service! Good luck with whatever the heck your working on !!😂✊🏼
Man i struggled with this and now you have simplified the whole process. Thanks brother.
The simpler the better for me. Glad to help ✊🏼🤘🏼👊🏼
Thank you. You did an excellent job explaining how to cut a 45-degree angle. It is very easy to follow.
You are very welcome. Thanks for checking out the video!!!
Absolutely the best angle cutting video ever! Thank you !!!
Thank you so much! I hope it helps out✊🏼
Thanks for making this. The long to short parallelogram was what i needed!!!!!
Your welcome Eric. Glad to help✊🏼
Thank you so very much this is the best video I have found that was really easy to follow and understand you have saved me a lot of money.
You are very welcome Jacquelyn! Glad I could help !! 😀
Thank you for taking the time to explain it! You are the MVP sir!
Thanks for checking out my video! Hope it helps you out ✊🏼
Thank you, I needed this. Dont know why but I was always intimidated cutting 45 degree angles. This will be too easy.
Great job professor! 👍👍
Thank you ! Practice makes progress! That’s a quote from my wife ✊🏼
Yes 100% this was my first time doing crowns and I was going crazy I wasted 8 ft of molding but finally got it. But your video of long to long helped me very much thank you.
That’s good to hear! I won’t lie, I haven’t done a ton of crown but did pull some hair out when I did. Some more skilled friends helped me as well✊🏼
At first I thought it was Jim Breuer teaching shop class on cutting 45's. Then I realized, nope, just a fellow punk rocker. Thanks for the help man. I know I can build anything but when it comes to angle cuts, it's my Achilles heel.
Jim Breuer! Haha 😂 I sound like Goat Boy? Glad you checked it out, and yes I love me some Punk Rock 👊🏼✊🏼🤟🏼
@@johnnyworks5446 Lol, nah not goat boy man, it's just the accent.

Yeah, man. I’m a newbie and you’re talking straight to my level. You explain and repeat things so that I won’t have to rewind the video and it’ll be easily remembered. The comic relief and your accent (Boston, I’m assuming) is icing on the cake. Thanks, brah! Blessings.
Thanks for watching Ricardo! And yes I am in the Boston area. Go Pats. I have plenty more masterpieces on my channel for beginners if you want to check out 👊🏼
Thanks .. I just freshened up my memory for some upcoming angle cuts this weekend, A believe
for a little bit i could hang out with you....lol Funny and informative.
Thanks for watching! Good luck 👍
I like that you always mention Joe. He must be a great father in-law. 👍🏽
We butt heads a little sometimes but, he is a Great guy and teacher. I will hopefully get him to let me film him in the near future. He has a lot more skill and knowledge than I ! Thanks for watching Christian😀
@@johnnyworks5446 more knowledgeable than you?!! Holy smokes, man. Tell him your fans are ready and eager for him to drop some knowledge!! Ease him into it. Ask him to assist you in one of your videos. Then while he’s helping, put him on the spot and challenge him to make a video of his favorite tool hacks/woodworking tips😂😂, tell him your fans have been nagging you for one or challenge him to a competition on building the radest birdhouse, doghouse or other project! My father in law would probably be shy at first. His passion is BBQ brisket, if I were to do a video he’d be awkward for the first couple of minutes, then he’d be in the zone and begin to share stories like how he got started when he was 13. He knew absolutely nothing and tried using some discarded fence pieces as wood to grill something with his neighborhood friends. It turned out terrible, but he promised to refine his process and now he’s a grill master. I love him like my own father since mine passed. I got Artie in my life now and he’s a blessing. I’m just thinking out loud, bro. Keep up the great work! ✌🏽
@@christiansantos7164 I am working on him! He’s getting ready to retire next year and we are redoing my barn and turning it into a two story workshop and studio. My Dad and Mom are also gone since 2007. Get some Artie time in and learn some Grilling secrets👊🏼
@@johnnyworks5446 awesome, bro! You’re really living, man. ✌🏽
Thanks. Very educational tutorial

I'll be messing up a ton of free pallets to get this right. Thank you for the simple explanation.
Your Welcome✊🏼
Thank you! I wish I had found this video a year ago when I did my kitchen island on beveled cuts with no experience whatsoever! This approach would have made it a dream for me. Thank you for showing these cuts in an easy way so inexperienced DIY'ers such as myself can have a better understanding how to make these cuts! Well done.

Your welcome! Good luck with your wood working . 😀
Enjoyed the video , it was very helpful and well explained.
Glad you liked it . Thanks for watching 👊🏼
The blade takes a decent portion of the wood away at the line. Should we cut at the outside of the cut line rather than on the cut line? I think that you probably did, but I missed you mentioning this important point. Great video though.
Great point! Yes, you should cut just outside the line because the blade will take about 1/8” of the wood. You can always cut twice but you can’t put the wood back after it’s cut. Old saying “measure twice, cut once”.
Finish needs to be more accurate it when I used to be a framer, the guys would yell measurements to the cut guy telling them to leave or cut the line just for this reason if they needed to piece tighter or a little loose.
Thanks for the question and for checking out the video ✊🏼
Thank you for posting this video, it helped me understand the basics and also made me laugh

Thank you for teaching 45 cuts
Thank you for watching Linda 👍🏼
Good morning. Ok if I need a 12 inch piece of crown going from a straight cut to a 45 inside corner should I cut the 45 first and than measure the long point of the molding . To the straight cut ? I hope I explained that right cause this is one of the things that’s making me nuts.
If I am understanding correctly then , yes I would cut the 45 first and then measure. If possible cut it bigger than you need. This way you can always take a little off if needed but, you can’t put it back on if your short😀
Thank you! This is what I needed to know.
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped!!!
thanks for the show i lov it are u going to do any more very well done
Thanks for watching and the compliment! If you want you can go to my channel, Johnny Works on TH-cam. I am still making videos just been a little too busy to film as often.
Hi great video. Does the same go when cutting crown molding?
Yes. The terminology is still the same although, crown molding is harder to do than traditional trim or baseboard. I am admittedly not great at it. The way I learned to measure and cut has you flipping the piece upside down on your miter saw to cut at the correct angle.
Unreal bit of information. Thank you very helpful. Keep up the good work
Thank you for watching ! Good luck
I really needed this ! thank you for the clear explanation
Glad it helped. Good luck !! 😀👊🏼

Your welcome Christina ✊🏼
I did it. Im so excited. Thanks again
That’s Great to hear!! Congratulations
Hello, I have a question what blade do you recommend for that cut? I have a 10inch 90 teeth and it ate three my wood because the border is pretty thin. What would you recommend?
It depends what type of wood you are cutting? Was the blade new and sharp? If you are cutting trim or hardwood and need a nice smooth cut then you should get a fine finish blade. It is it for rough framing then you can just use a framing blade. When you purchase them they all say what material each blade should be used for.
I could see him being one my woodworking instructors in high school.

Really Helpful thanks for the video

@@johnnyworks5446 Will do!
could you show the bevel cut with the circular saw? or did I miss it
I have a video on how to use a circular saw on my channel that shows how to cut on a bevel if you want to check that out . Thanks for watching !
hey brotha. lol im back for a question. lol i asked one before ur answers spoke to me i got it the way you answered . other dudes just confused the issue and made more lost . im just cutting some thin molding trim for a screen door i re screened and i wanna seal the bead lanes around the screen so thye stay in there and it copmpletes the door top n bottom. Doing the 4 cuts 45's i get that etc do i lay these flat or stand em up bevel style like u were showing. is there a general rule when ur cutting these 45s ..do i always lay it on saw as to how its going to lay on the door or whatever piece im attaching them ?? wasnt sure when or what situation called for bevel cut vs regular flat cuts u kno what i mean. thanks bro rancid rules dude. sorry if my question isnt clear im not clear in the head most days lol jk
It depends if how the wood is going to sit on the door. If it’s gonna sit flat you can just cut 45’s. If it’s gonna sit on it’s side then you need to move the saw position to 45 and that gives it a bevel. Hope that helps? ✊🏼
@@johnnyworks5446 👍
Thank you for this video . ☺️
Your very welcome ! Thanks for watching
cool rancid rules man. love em. can i as k what maybe a dumb question i get how the 45 match up etc . but how do i determine , based on my project , before i even start how long more or less to start with to even mark the pieces for the mitre cuts. like say i have 10 1/2 all around, do i add length to the cut of each to fulfill the perfect angle how doe sthat work or how do i detrmenine what number to settle on for the 45 degree cuts in lenghth. same as the projects 10 1/2 or am i adding to make up for the angled cuts. is there a general formula to plug in? sorry i hope i asked the question right. im new at this shit.
Hey David , I hope I can answer correctly for you. Whatever the total size of your project is, let’s say outside dimensions of a box that is 2’x2’ or 24”x24” square, this would be your long point on a 45 degree (miter). If you cut your 1st piece at 45 degree you would pull your measurement from that long point and make a mark at 24”. Now cut a 45 degree back toward the end you cut. This would be 24” or 2’ long to long. If you repeat that 4 times you will have basically a square like a picture frame with all corners mitered at 45 degrees. Your overall length of whatever your cutting whether it’s trim or 2x4 is the long point and will be the outside dimension of your project. The thickness of the material your using may make the 45 degree angle longer but it depends what you are making and how long it is if it will be an issue. Hope this helps a little. Let me know. Good luck ! ✊🏼
@@johnnyworks5446 IT HELPED BIG TIME. I kinda walked away from it temp cuz i wasnt getting the concept i got so pissed i couldnt wrap my head around it ..how to determine and a start n finish with the measurment till i just got back logged on saw this and " the lightbulb" light up , but didnt burn out this time i totally get it and understand it. i just cut one w how you explained it and kinda mirror the rest but laying them back to back mathcn longside/s
hort side then makn sure the angles are all cut inward to meet the next angle around the bend lol Dude thank u so much i wickid appreciate you taking the time from your life to respond to complete stranger . Good man i appreciate i really do . im just adding some quarter round to a table of my moms top and bottom tiers/shelves just gives it catchy sharp look u know. I really do enjoy this woodworking now im so into it. got a chop/mitre saw. impact driver, table saw, mitre saw/couping saw/ but again it clicked when i read it the long/short etc i just couldnt find any people who didnt love to hear themselves talk then get all caught up in the video and barley explain what the video theyre making is about. its like duuuude they go on and on and on and on and on tlakn about their dog their previous builds accalades etc. lol i fell aslepp tryn to figure the rise/run on slope roof etc the guy was so mono tone i honestly passed out ;lp; sorry so long message thnak u so much

Awesome Vid! Thanks.

Any idea why I cut 2 45s on baseboard and they don't go together right. My saw is designed to cut up to a 50 degree angle.
Maybe the corner could be out of square. A lot of times they are. Is it at an inside or outside corner? At outside corners you can glue and nail them together and slide them in place. At an inside corner you may have to cheat or adjust your 45 if it’s not square. Get it as close as you can and caulk the gap. One other thing on inside corners is called coping. This is where one piece goes in square with no 45 and the other get notched to sit over it. I have a video on baseboard that shows it or you can look up how to cope a corner doing baseboard.
@@johnnyworks5446 thanks for the reply. I don't understand the 2 corners you mentioned. This is a small corner followed by maybe a foot of baseboard ending at the sliding glass door. Would it be better if I cut them 50 degrees? The floors are uneven too so big gaps under the baseboard.
@@chriss4365 Chris, watch my video “how to install baseboard better” it shows the different corners and how to cut them and install. Without seeing it in person it’s hard to say.
Very useful tips,thank you.

How would you strengthen the top arm if you're making a C shape leg where the top arm is 15-20inches? Making a desk from a live edge
Not sure exactly what you are talking about? I would have to see a picture of it to give an honest answer or idea.
Thank you, I really appreciate this, but wondering what instances you would use some of these cuts, like the bevel. I want to get a beginner small saw, but scared to death if them. I want to make a headboard with miter corners, but not sure how to measure the ends, do I cut the long end where I want the headboard to end or will that be too long?
The bevel cuts can depend on the width of the board mostly. If for instance you have a 2x8 or bigger and you try to cut a 45 degree cut on the flat side of the board, you can only bevel cut it on the miter saw because if you stand the board on end it wouldn’t fit under the blade. The overall length you need should be the long point of you cut on the flat or a bevel. I hope this helps you !
Very informative, thank you 🙏🏿

I want to add moldings to my kitchen cabinet doors, similar to a frame. The outside of the moulding is higher. I did buy the piece you ordered us to, but I am still mixed up. I never had a great mind, am 83 year old woman, and do know how to use electric miter saw to cut straight. Please help.
Are you attaching them to the face of the cabinet doors or around the outside of them?
If it will be the same size as it is now nailed to the face of the door, then you need to measure the top or bottom and make those pieces long point to long point. Then do the same with the sides. That should look and work like a picture frame would.
This man is the definition of New England 🤣

Thanks for the compliment! High school teacher, not sure about that 🤣 thanks for watching ✊🏼
Thank you so much for this. No one teaches this in their videos that I've watched. One quick question. Do you cut on the line, inside of it or outside of it? Thanks!
Thanks for watching Sue! So cutting on the line , before or after depends on which side you measured from. For instance if you hooked your tape measure on left end of the board and pulled say 24" , then you make a line and cut on the other side of it away from where you pulled your 24" measurement. If you cut on the same side of the line that you pull from then you will always be at least an 1/8" short because the saw blade is typically 1/8" thick> So always cut past the line from the direction you pull from. Hope this helps you. Thanks again
Good video. Thanks!

THANK YOU FOR THE INFO BRO.....👍🏼✌🏼
Your Welcome! Good luck brother 👊🏼
Can you measure fro short to short?
Yes you can. Mark and cut your material, now instead of hooking your tape measure on the end, just hold it on the short end of the cut and pull your measurement. After you mark it, cut on your line but away from it. Sounds complicated if you are new but, you can always experiment with a scrap piece of wood first.
Awesome. Thank you.
Thanks for checking it out . Good luck !!
How do you find the inside dimension. Short to short
Hard to explain in words and not visually but, think of a framed picture or painting on your wall. The wood that is around the painting is made up of 45 degree angle cuts. If you took a tape measure and measured the longest part of the wood from end to end that would be long point to long point. On that same piece of trim/wood, if you measure the shortest point to the shortest point that would be a short to short measurement. The easiest way is to practice or cut a practice piece before you cut your actual real piece.
This was really helpful, thanks!
You are very welcome!
