Default Making a 70.6 cut on miter saw

The miter only has 1 degree increments.


Are you talking MARKINGS or STOPS? My Miter Saw has lots of litt;e
degrees painted in/on the scale but the only stops are at 90, 45,
37.5(?) and 15 (I think).

Not that this information "solves" your problem, But it might open you
up to another way of looking at the problem - out of the markings on
my saw box, Tes? No?

You didn't mention the stock you were using and the dimensions of the
noard(s) to be cut at the indicated angle.

Since you mentioned Miter Saw, folks are likely to think of dimensions
usually cut on such a saw - no 4 x 8 sheets for instance - and offer
suggestions based in some part upon this premise.

Having said all that, thanks for your post as it unearthed quite a
nice load of information.
