How do you cut miters greater than 45 degrees? Most miter saws max out somewhere between 45 and 60 degrees. If you want to make a cut greater than that, you’re going to have to make an auxiliary fence that changes the angle that the back of your workpiece references from. This is super easy, and today I show you two ways to easily achieve the seemingly impossible task of cutting extreme angles.

Awesome tick/tip!
Why not just rotate the board by a full 90° and subtract subtract the steep angle, set the saw to that number of degrees? No secondary fence needed. Double stick tape still highly recommended though. 90 – 65 = 25…
A real clear and concise explanation. We do have jobs where we have to cut a lot of extreme angles. We use the second method that you showed because of the frequency that we need to make these cuts. The 45 degree false fence is usually held down by the mitre saw clamp although I think we will try “your” tape method. That false fence is about 1” thick which allows us to mount a toggle clamp to it. So, we introduce the piece of trim or cladding to be cut to the saw and clamp it down with that toggle clamp; cut and release. The only advantage of our method is speed if you are making repetitive extreme angle cuts. If it’s just one or two and we didn’t have that false fence to hand, then tape would be the answer.
Well, this is cool. I will definitely mentally note this!
Gotta love options…. you're a video-making machine right now, Jodee. Keep bangin 'em out! Great content!
Nice video. Gotta remember the double sided tape trick as ive been doing the painters tape/CA glue thing — which works — but this is quicker.
Freaking brilliant! just freaking brilliant! I am so so so so (yep 4 sos) glad that you decided to do this content creator thing full-time. You help so many folks in very real ways! THANK YOU!
Great video I'll remember this one!
This is fantastic. As well as the video before this. Thank you!
For me the 2nd way is better because it allows me to make rapacious cuts
Love your short form, super educational videos, that aren't shorts! Although, sometimes you wear shorts…. I've confused myself!
Your tips are always easy to follow and so pertinent to the subject. Love your channel and tell everyone about it.
Will that work if you want an extreme angle on the edge as in 22.5 degree when making a flag box?
