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.

I have little experience at these sort of things, but I would build a
"sled" having a 30-degree "ramp". Then would adjust the blade angle on
someones TS until my test-cuts were a "perfect fit" (to the attic).

By the way, the rise/run of a 30-degree angle is about .577. The angle
corresponding to a rise/run of .5 is about 26.57-degrees. So make the
height of the "ramp" half as much as it's width, and you'll be pretty
close. You could measure the angle of whatever ramp you build with a
protractor, of course. Then make up the difference (to 60) with your
table saw.

I welcome constructive criticism.
