A typical miter saw will let you adjust the miter and the bevel angle up to 45-degrees or 55-degrees.

When you set a miter saw angle, you are actually setting the angle at which you will be removing the material.

How to Cut Angles Greater Than 45 Degrees on a Miter Saw

Step 1: Align Saw

Step 2: Attach Scrap Board

Step 3: Make the Cuts

With the jig completed, the right angle cut or the 0-degree line is now a 45-degree angle.

How to Cut Angles Greater Than 45 Degrees on a Miter Saw

A typical miter saw will let you adjust the miter and the bevel angle up to 45-degrees or 55-degrees.

When you set a miter saw angle, you are actually setting the angle at which you will be removing the material.

How to Cut Angles Greater Than 45 Degrees on a Miter Saw

Step 1: Align Saw

As always when starting to use the saw, make sure that the saw is aligned. See here for more details on how to do that.

Step 2: Attach Scrap Board

Use hot glue and attach the scrap board to the miter saw aligned with the fence. The hot glue will come right off.

Step 3: Make the Cuts

Set the miter saw blade at 45-degree miter and make a miter cut.

With the jig completed, the right angle cut or the 0-degree line is now a 45-degree angle.
