Good Morning Friends,

What method would you use when cutting true miters on your table saw?

Stare at the table saw, grimace, take the work to the miter saw.

I have a digital miter so if I really want a pair of true 45's, I'll zero the miter, set it to 45 degrees and gently clamp the piece to the miter fence.  Perfect every time.  I also set my blade to 90 degrees to the table with a Wixey.

don't use the TS for miters...

For 45° miters, I made a sled. For other angles, I use the miter gauge.

I use butt joints.:D

lots and lots of glue...... :)  and staples.  and hope. 

I have a jig (sled) that works for perfect mitres.P1121579.thumb.JPG.bc1f1ea0d508db0df2a1175418f12cf3.JPG

I do not have a pic on the saw, but goes just like it is hanging. Cut one mitre on the left and opposing on the right and get a perfect match.

I dislike chop saws, I will only use table saw, Can't explain how I do it, just do it, not the same every time, depends on the project,works for me. Use a 60t Freud blade on cross cuts, a Freud Glue Line blade on "with the grain" cuts.
