Does anyone know what the 31.6 degree stop is for? If I have a 90 degree angle in the corner, I use a 45 degree cut.

It is a 10" sliding compound miter saw. The cool thing about it is the cast degree scale. And, yes, you can easily set up the saw by feel. Both the miter and bevel scales are raised. Stops are at 0, 15, 22.5 31.6 45 and 60. One of my woodworker buddies happened to run across this saw and thought I'd be able to feel the scales. Needless to say, He got several beers on my tab for that. The saw is made out of aluminum. I would rather have cast iron; but, I have to admit the aluminum has held up perfectly through many projects. It cuts as well as the day I baught it. Looks like this saw is still available. I've had mine for about 10 years or so. Here's the low-down: Features: Powerful 13.0 Amp motor, 2.8 max. tool HP Crown miter detents - 31.6° miter and 33.9° bevel detents for quick, accurate crown cuts Large 25" aluminum base with 3" extension for 28" total length - Provides extra support Tall 3-1/2" Fence - For easy bevel set-ups and increased crown molding cutting capacities Dual rail design - For superior accuracy Exclusive wedge-and-slot miter detent system - Consistent and precise miter angles Miter detent override - For easy setting of any setting for any neighboring angle Electric brake - For quick and repetitive cuts. Stops blade in seconds Cast and machined scales - Visible for the life of the saw Double insulated, UL listed, complies to OSHA Includes: 60 Tooth Carbide Tip Blade Workpiece Clamp Blade and Stop Wrench Fence and Base Wrench Directional Dust Chute Dust Bag B-3915 I hope this is helpful to the list.
