Does any one have an explanation as to why all miter saw miter scales

If anyone has an explanation it is probably also good for why the
bevel scale is the same way.


Set a speed-square against the fence and you'll have your answer.



Where am I looking to see my answer?Â* When I set my speed square base,
the wide edge, against the fence it shows 90 degrees down to the saws
capacity of about 45 degrees.Â* The speed square goes to Zero next to the
fence.


Yep, you're right. I looked at the wrong side.
I'm curious what the Miterfast thingie that came with your Kapex reads
when placed against the fence. Or does it not have any readings at all?
