I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw kzread.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.
With Ryan's kzread.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
I wish more youtubers were this cut and dry. Very simple and explained great for us guys that need it explained this simple! Great job!
YOU ARE THE BEST! Tried to figure out a 135° miter cut. Got very frustrated & gave up. Now i can cut it. THANK YOU!!!
I don't see why this video has dislikes, ppl just don't appreciate great knowledge. Great video... well explained.
I've been on the Internet for years trying to learn some accuracy skills. This is the best I've ever seen. Now I know why some of my cuts just seem to be a bit off. Thank you so much for explaining it. The acute angle has always been a debacle for me. I now get it.
Attempting my first board and batten wall and wrapping it around a bay window with 135 degree angles. I felt totally intimidated by this project until I watched your video! Thank you for your easy to follow tutorial!!
Thank you sooo much. I had to watch it about 5 times to get a handle on it, but once it sunk in, man does that make cutting so much easier. I can't thank you enough and people like you for taking the time to make these kind on videos to help people you don't even know.

Brilliant! I must have watched two dozen videos and wasted hours of my time trying to find out how to cut baseboard for an inside bullnose 135 degree angle. Nobody came close to this delightfully simple presentation of an otherwise mind-bending challenge. Thank you.
I am very glad to have find your channel. Using my miter saw has always been my hell. I used the scale on the miter saw and of course all of my angles were wrong. Thank you for this video. I have viewed nearly all of your videos and now I am using my miter saw like someone who knows what he is doing. Again, thank you very much.
There is something very endearing about folk who want to share their knowledge, a great tip 🤙

You just changed my life sir! Bless you and your knowledgeable heart!!!
Ok, as a finish carpenter for 20 plus years I know the trick with the jig to cut acute angle’s. I also know that 0 is a 90 degree cut but to count the degree’s backwards from 90 never occurred to me. Awesome idea!!! I’m not easily impressed anymore with finish carpentry but this really helped me gain a new and different perspective. Thanks so much for revealing your knowledge. Much appreciated, my friend!!!

I'm a beginner mason an this helps me tremendously with problems I've had layin out block an brick work thank you
This makes a world of sense and is appreciated very much. I've been trapped into a huge (for me, with little experience with tools) project that requires replicating odd angles on the house's original deck. (If they'd built a rectangular deck, I'd be cruising down Easy Street.) For a host of reasons, not buying a miter saw such as the excellent model shown here. That's a shame, because this is much easier for a beginner to conceptualize on this professional setup. Instead, I have a first-rate circular saw. It's harder to conceptualize making these odd angles work on my DeWalt DWE575SB, and the Diablo TrexBlade works flawlessly. However, a stack of miscut ends is accumulating and I turn long planks to and fro. These planks have been ripped to 3.5" to serve as fascia, making this more complicated. Perhaps I can watch this again ... and again ... and glue to concepts for correctly measuring angles into a fevered brain. Many thanks for your video! Kudos!
I do have to admit man, this is genius.

Sometimes it ain't always that easy, like if you have some crown, or base, or any kind of trim that can only be cut to fit one way and not reversible, it's much easier to turn the saw than it is to flip a piece of crown moulding upside down and balance the 12' stick with your right hand while you try to cross over and cut with your left.

Parry Tillman well no, it doesn't work for all situations and angles, but in this situation he could have. Also some saw horses or something can solve that "balance" issue for you.

m1k3c0urtn3y43v3r this is true. On a framing site then yeah, set up a saw bench and go to town, but it's good to know both sides of the saw just in case
I waste so much wood trying to get the angle right, on projects I am attempting to do, I get it right sometimes but thats more just luck than skill. I measure and measure and measure and cut 20 times still get it wrong. This made so much sense to me. Now it's just practising it so I don't have to keep thinking it through. Why they don't put this stuff on the actual mitre saw is beyond me. I will just have to keep watching this a few times to get it into my head. Bless you....thank you.

Can I just suggest a few things. # Pencil doesn't show up well on camera. # Give people time to digest what you have done. Don't just skip ahead. # We need the camera aimed more at your hands and what they are doing than you actually talking to the camera. (Sorry..lol ) We can still hear you tho. # Why don't you angle the mitre saw to 45 degrees you just move the blade to 45, what's the difference. # Alot of my cuts right now in this project (Tall planter pot, with trims around top and bottom) are small, around 5 inches, so your jig of 4 " won't work well for me on those cuts. # I see you don't clamp wood to your mitre saw so how do you hold small bits of wood on the mitre without taking your fingers off with it. thanks
wow! thank you for this tip. I am relieved when I saw this video unlike other videos out there were confusing.
You can make It easier: in Your example a 120 degree angle. 180-120= 60 divide that by 2 is 30. This 30 is than the mark on the machine. So you don't have to make new numbers by the marks. So always start with 180 minus the wanted angle and then divide by 2. And use the normal markings on your saw

@benjamindover7434

45 is an acute angle so just divide by 2. Anything over 90 is obtuse so you minus it from 180 then divide by 2 to get your miter. 🤷♂️

Makes you wonder why the manufactures mark the saws 'incorrectly' because zero really is a 90deg cut.
