Thanks. Bevel cut across the flat 3-1/2 inch dimension of the 2x4. I
could pass it with the miter gage, and after all the cuts are
made,flip everything over for a second pass so I can go full depth.
Don't need accuracy. This is for framing only not cabinet work. Ivan

Well crap, you could do that with a circ saw or hand saw on a saw horse.
If it's just framing, turn the 2x4 on edge, use a speed square to mark
the 60degree cut line and cut with a hand saw... or hold the speed
square at 60 as a guide for the circ saw. Go half way on one side and
flip to finish the cut.
