My miter saw has +/- 45 deg marks. That is, the max "pointedness" I
can get is 45 deg. I need to cut a 1" x 2" with a more pointed cut,
say about 60 deg.
That is, the angle between the cut and the length should be 60 Deg.
(actually
about 62 deg but that is a matter of trial and error.)

I have tried to use my table saw without much success.

Is there any way I can use my miter saw to get more pointed cuts?
Incidentally I have just learned how to get excellent matching corner
cuts for crown molding on my miter saw. I figure there must be a way
to get pointed cuts also.

Turn the wood around; if you need 60 degress, cut 30 degrees from the other
way.
