/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Thanks, I really like that guy, and I might make that sled, but it won't help with this project.
I'm mitering the edges of a box, not the corners of a picture frame.
The boxes are going to be 5" and 6 1/4" deep, so I can't cut them vertically on the table saw. Unless maybe I cut one side, then flip it upside down to finish the cut, but I don't think that will align, even with a really precise sled.
Instead, I'm looking at videos about fine-tuning the 45 degree bevel stop on the miter saw.
I had already checked the angle with a quick-square, but like I said, the cumulative error is 4 times what the blade error is, so one corner winds up with a nasty gap.
I'm going to need to get the 45 stop a lot closer than that.

Thanks, but that's pretty much where I am now.
I wrote a Perl script to calculate the results of different diameters and degrees of arc.
Then I run the script with different parameters, trying to home in on a good answer.
It works, but it seems like there should be an easier way.
Maybe that's just wishful thinking...
