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.

Before anyone else reaches for his or her calculator, for a 1.5" wide
2x4, the depth of the cut required appears to be 3".

Scratch that. 1.75" from each side makes more sense.
