I'm trying to run a dado rail on a wall going up a set of stairs and
then along a landing.

I can't work out how to cut the joint where the horizontal (landing)
run meets the stair wall run. Am I right in my guess that you set the
internal angle on a sliding bevel, measure it with a protractor, and
then halve it to get the right saw cut on both pieces?

They're in the same plane ie not turning a corner...

TIA

I can't quite see how this will join up. The piece running parallel with the
stairs will be cut diagonally and the landing piece will be cut square. ie,
the first will have a compound mitre and the second a simple mitre.
