remember On piece of trim has to be flipped or cut upside down, or you have to change the saw to the same angle in the other direction
I love this for that kind angles but I just tried to do it the opposite angle and had fits with it. It is on a piece of furniture. I finally got it but took a lot of different cuts. You made this way simple and would love to see you do it the other way too! Thank you for your help, love watching you work.
Genius.
How would i find the angle i need to cut a 2×4 when cutting the angle for a top plate of a wall that attaches to a cathedral ceiling?
nailed it
This is really cool for outside angles!! Is there a similar trick for inside angles?
Oh, I thought this was about bisecting angels. False advertising! Well, now that I’m here, how do you keep your saw so blood-free?
This was on TOH months ago,and of course I taped it ,it’s about time I’m able to share it thanks TOH as always !
Cool trick Silva
Simple. Effective. Beautiful.
Was just about to buy a fancy tool.
A well constructed and acted video.
Thank you.
Richard is the best but Tommy is getting close
Grade 7 math.
Tom Silva is bad to the bone.
bravo 🙂
Very, very good… Tks, Tom!…
ha …..so weird watching these guys at 1080p
What about inside corners
Tom, you are amazing…You just saved me a trip to the store.
Naaaaah, just sign me up for the fancy tool. It looks a lot quicker and I don’t have a laser on my chop saw to line up the cut.
This is the best way i have tried….works every time…
thanks for sharing…
A very useful tip, thanks Tommy. And by the way what’s that angle tool called?
So simple!!!!!!aarrgghhhhhh
I thought i was good carpenter after I learned how to cut casing angles using shims compensating sticking out walls ,and now this? what else I don’t know?
cool tom
“…and I do mean a ‘sharp’ pencil!”
Tom You are a university ;). I mean it.
