Does anyone have tips on how to cut a plywood or similar stuff at an angle shown in the
picture?

with a table saw

This or use a circular saw. That is a pretty steep angle though, you may want to use a sander to finish it because it's unlikely a saw can go to such an angle.

>plywood or similar stuff
Makes a big difference if you're talking about the edge of a big flat board or just the end of a plank.

Assuming you mean board materials then yeah, a table saw is the way to go.

If the blade won't tip that far you could make a jig to hold up the inside edge so that together with the angle of the tipped blade you'd have the final angle. The stock would have to be handled with care!

or just run it through the table saw on its edge like you know what you're doing

>"blade won't tip that far"
Or you could just use a miter gauge, like any other sane person would.

Chainsaws can cut at any angle.

[Anonymous No.488428]

[Anonymous No.488431]

an oscillating tool can cut and sand and millions of other things. and they're way safer and cheaper than table saws.

What size stock are you cutting?

For large pieces >>488096

For smaller stock like you actually show in the picture.

The best tool for this miter cut would be a crosscut saw or 'chop saw' .
You can cut angles in more than one plane. Rotate stock and change quickly.

Or this tool from a more elegant time:

Not sure if OP is specifying plywood or some partical board.

except for actually cut, you stupid fuck, these are the same things they try to push all the time on mid-day TV, they wont cut anything harder then dry wall.

>>488109
Fair enough, that didn't occur to me. But is it safe to run a sizeable board through held vertically like that? Even assuming someone has a tenoning jig for their table saw they're just intended for planks no?

>>488384
I'm not sure you're visualising the same cut I am.

What material is that? You say plywood so are you talking a 4' x 8' sheet or a 1x6 piece of lumber?

Mitre saws tip down to like 60°? Interdesting.

Please list which models have this feature, I can see how that would be handy.

[Anonymous No.488564]

For cross cuts with nasty angles you'll want either a compound miter saw or a radial arm saw. They are both nice cause the wood is held stationary while the blade moves. Much easier to use on large pieces of lumber.

You can do it with a table saw but you'll need a miter gauge and its a huge pain in the ass if its a large piece of wood. Small piece, no big deal though. A bandsaw or jig/scroll saw would also work but they are also a huge pain if its a big hunk of wood.

You can also do it with a circular saw or miter box & backsaw but thats a pain in the ass cause you have to measure well and have a steady hand. Measure twice and cut once and all that. The above tools would be easier because they allow the use of fences or guides or tilting tables for their cuts.

miter saw op

>is it safe to run a sizeable board through held vertically like that?
it's as safe as the person doing it
some ppl might extend their fence upward a bit with some scrap to improve stability for the cut
imo a good eye and steady hands gets the job done no problem

tell me more about how you cut sheets of plywood with a miter saw

>>488564
>its a huge pain in the ass if its a large piece of wood
not really
especially if you have two people

The weight of the circular saw resting on the wood is enough to keep it steady.

This is a miter gauge (ignore the wooden "jig" attached to it, yours wont have that). Now, judging by your picture, it looks like your trying to cut a 1x4 or something along those lines? To get that angle, adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lay the board on the FLAT side down, on the table saw (the 4" side, if its a 1x4). You'll probably have to remove the fence for this. This should give you the most accurate cut, when cutting this type of stock. Otherwise you could use the a compound miter saw, if your stock will fit, (1x4 should fit 1x6 or larger may not, depending on your saw) IF your planning to cut large sheets of plywood, the only real option is to use a handheld circular saw, A.K.A "sawsall".

>>488731
if the pictured of posted is suppose to be a full sheet of plywood like you seem to think for whatever reason, then a circular saw is the tool to use.

[Anonymous No.488928]

>>488877
right
but OPs pic shows something like a 60deg cut
so you put it on it's egde and cut at 30deg
did you even read the thread?

[Anonymous No.488939]

>>488928
yea, nah.
I read the thread, but I still can't see where op said 60.
Could you point it out?
