"Typically " an explanation like this is not one of repeated practiced
experience, more so a repeat of something published. Those that have
done this time and again realize that it is not a complicated feat and
that knowing how to place the material on the machine accomplishs correct
results in "much" less time than it takes to explain.


Well, of course it takes much less time to do it than to read about it. I
gave a detailed explanation of the process, so that someone using it would
have an understanding of what was going on, rather than just following a
cookbook. In practice, it takes no more than a minute or two to lay out
the angle and set the miter gauge.


Actually, ;~) just so we are clear, it takes less time to make the set up
and make the cut than simply saying this,

Put your wood on the mitersaw 90 degrees to normal, adjust miter setting to
19.4 degrees and make the cut.
