Default Cutting boards at 45 degrees

Friends, thankyou for your ideas regarding my kitchen oven etc.

I know have a different problem!

The kicker boards that are clipped to the legs of the kitchen units.

How can I cut a 45 degree angle on the ends of the boards without
using a special power saw or similar because I do not have them and
hiring them for one job is too prohibitive!

I do have a mitre block but it is only 3,1/2" high and the boards are
6 inches.

There must be a way of marking it up so that I can use an ordinary saw
but it baffles me!

Regards, Peter.


A mitre block is useful but not essential for this job,

Buy a good quality, adjustable mitre square, mark the top or bottom of the
board at 45 degrees and square the line down both faces, hold the board
upright against a solid surface (or clamp it in a Workmate bench) and using
a panel (or crosscut) hand saw, cut down the board along the marked lines.
