Need to cut short pieces of 2x4 (12" length) with ends cut at 60 deg. angle on the flat. These will tuck up under the peak of the attic so the drywall installer can make a small soffit.
Portable saw only goes to 45 deg. Same with table saw. I could stand pieces on end and slide them along the fence. Sounds dangerous. Need to do about 60 cuts. Advice appreciated.

Very simple. I had to do the same thing when I built my shed for the
rafter ends.

Clamp a straight edge 90 deg to the fence of your miter saw and then
all you have to do is cut a 30 deg angle. With the 12" length of your
stock it's a piece of cake.
