    I was building a wood storage rack (so maybe this IS on-topic!) and wanted to cut a 2x4 with 30 and 60 degree angles on each end. But my chop saw will only go from 0 to 45 and all I can cut is the 30. I ended up cutting it by hand.

    Make a jig for the saw for the angles but wahooooo what a great reason to buy a radial arm saw .MORE POWER uuh! uuh! uuh!
  3. been there done that then after all the hard work I realized that if for example the first cut you make is the 30* the take the excess of that cut put it against the rip fence (square end) then make the next cut with the saw still at 30* this gives you the 60*. It's easy with 2 bys but a little harder to hold the piece the biger it gets
