I took Ian Kirby's advice and made a simple sled jig to hold work at 45
deg to table. His main argument is that contractors' t/s-s have such
flimsy links between angle-adjusting trunnions that you get the arbor
located to do 90 deg. and make jigs to cut at all other angles.

Even on a "good" table saw I think jigging is the way to go. You spend
a little time on the jig and get it right and then everything goes
quickly and safely. And then you have the jig forever - and can crank
out your miters in a snap.
