Hello, when I use the protractor thing in the track to guide a piece
through the saw I first square the angle to the upright blade with a
carpenters square. I can cut a fairly square 90 edge like this. When I
rotate the saw blade 45 degrees to cut a 45 on edge, the last inch
that goes through the blade is curved. The mitred corners are messed
up as a result. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time and happy
holidays.


A little suggestion.

Go to Library, get copy of Fred Bingham's book, Practical Yacht Joinery.

Tells you how to build a jig that produces dead nuts 45 degree miters
every time.

It's a no brainer.

Hey, Lew.... have you had a chance to compare Bingham's new(er) book?
Boat Joinery and Cabinetmaking Simplified.

That's the one I have, just don't remember the title as well as the old one.
