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.

Let me rephrase that. I had to do the same thing when I cut the
rafter ends for my shed. I would never want to give anyone the
impression that I built a shed to house my rafter ends. ;-)
