If you’ve ever tried to miter two pieces that are different widths, you no doubt have ran into some problems. Unequal width pieces cannot simply be mitered at 45 degrees. Today I have a neat trick to make a perfect right angle mitering two different width pieces that is quick, efficient, and requires almost zero layout.

As per the norm, I forgot to mention one thing: Depending on the widths of your pieces, the narrow board will most likely come out to a greater degree than what the saw can handle. In this case, the narrower board ended up being around 55.25 degrees, and my saw maxes out at 50. In order to cut a steeper angle than your saw can handle, you have to use something as an auxiliary fence that changes the reference angle. That is exactly what we did here, but instead of setting up an auxiliary fence to, say, 45 degrees like most folks do and then measuring the angles and doing the math, we used the first cut as an auxiliary fence that just happens to already be at the correct angle. I sincerely hope this makes sense! It's hard to remember sometimes what is "common knowledge" and what isn't.
This is why joinery is so much fun. Thanks
Where do you come up with these ideas? Are they yours or ideas you’ve run across over the years? Regardless, keep them coming, they are great!
Nicely done video
No stupidity, no one trying to be a comedian, no irritating background music, just a sensible, practical video
Thank you
Super cool!
I like it, hadn't seen that 1 yet

Awesome explanation as always. Thank you so much for sharing this. Keep up the good work. Thank you ????????
I was taught this years and years ago when I started my apprenticeship. ???? younger generations need apprenticeships rather then learning from Social media, plus they won’t be able to think for themselves and get out of and solve problems. Nice video ????????
Awesome, thank you for sharing!
You give the most useful video advice. Thank you. I’m becoming a big fan.
Good but how do you ensure that all pieces are the correct length for say making a picture frame with thin top and bottom and wide sides?
Beautiful, thank you! Greetings from Europe!
Great trick and well presented once again
One man so much talent thanks for another great tip
I want to know more about the rubber dust collection you set up on your saw! Looks to be working very well!
Sheer genius ????
For flat (S4S) pieces like that, couldn’t you just use the right side fence with the second (narrower) piece face down? No tape required, no blade movement, and you could set up stops for repeated cuts.
One thing not mentioned is if the face of the material is distinct, then if the first piece used as a fence is face up, then the second piece should be face down when cutting it or vise versa. Also pay attention to the edges if it matters – if the first piece is inside edge towards you, the second piece should have the inside edge to the right.
OK, what planet are you from? I don't know what alien race you learned all these little tips from, but I'm glad you are sharing them. Love it. I rarely save Youtube videos, but when I check the ones I do, yours are 90% or them.
That is simply brilliant.
As has become the norm for you, take a complex task and make it easier.
