Hello I’m trying to cut skirting board mitres but my issue is that I have 6 inch skirtings and will not fit under my chop saw upright against the fence is it called?
So I was under the assumption okay no worries I’ll lay it flat and use the bevel angle, however after some searching it appears this gives you a complementary angle on the piece you need?, so say I set the bevel to 30degrees, it’ll leave me with an angle of 60 on the skirting. This obviously isn’t what I want, I’ve measured my wall and the angle is 87.5degrees, so half of that is 43.75degrees, but if I want to use the bevel I need to subtract this from 90, so 90-43.75=46.25degrees, but my chop saw only goes to 45degree bevel, is this right or am I missing something big? I feel like this is a tool limitation?
Thanks.
