They may vary by model and you are close. I expect the stops are at 15, 22.5, 30 and 45 degrees.
The tilt otherwise know as bevel sadly doesn't usually have any stops except at the end which is usually 45 degrees. There will usually be a bolt and nut or some other arrangement to fine tune the bevel angle to 90 or 45. I don't have one that bevels to both sides and I haven't really examined one closely enough to know how or if you can tune up the 90 degree perpendicular but I would bet there is a way. ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Howell To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] what are the degrees on my compound sliding miter saw? Matt, the tipping angle is typically 45 degrees. The stops likely are 0, 22.5, 30, and 45. I may be wrong, but that is what comes to mind based on my saw. Of course I may be recalling incorrectly, but I am sure the final stop to the left and right are 45 degrees. I tried labeling mine, but wasn't all that helpful. I even tried labeling the measuring strip on my table saw, but that was pointless. I could not get the labeling gun to make marks small enough and it just made more sense to measure and line everything up with the fence based on the measuring device. Wow, did that make sense?
