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.

Next time you are in HD , look in the section with molding/trim, etc.
This book has instructions for builing a "fence" for acute angles
(p.97).
