I realize some of you might find this a rather stupid question, but then if not asked, one will not know for sure. I found one of these sliding bevel things at Home Depot. It cost me all of $5.97 or so and I believe I understand how it works, but I thought I'd ask just to be sure. The gent at the store seem to know exactly how it worked, but I'm not sure I fully understood what he was saying. I gather that if I wanted to figure the angle of a corner in a room for a whatever, I open the sliding bevel so that the pointed end is fully extended and what I have for a lack of a better description looks like a folding knife. Now to get the angle, I take this tool and lay the handle against one wall and the blade against another wall and lock the nut. So, for the sake of argument, this wall is weird so it's maybe a 20 degree angle. So, if my description is pretty accurate on the use of the tool, how do I then go about taking this to my miter saw and setting it up for the cut. Also, since it slides, how else could I make use of this tool? I'm sure I understand, but I'd like to get some feedback from those who understand that a quick description from someone who is sighted might not always be real helpful. I will give this guy a lot of credit. When I went looking at table saws, he gave me honest input, never once made any statement or indicated I shouldn't use the saw and was very encouraging about the project I was working on. tnx On Jun 24, 2008, at 5:50 PM, Lenny McHugh wrote:
