<\/span><\/h3>\nNext, you\u2019ll want to set the saw\u2019s bevel angle adjustment to 45\u00b0. Loosen the adjustment knob at the front, find the 45-degree indicator, and then tighten it up.<\/p>\n
After that, you can set the blade depth so the blade extends out just below the bottom of the wood surface.<\/p>\n
The reason you adjust the blade depth after setting the bevel angle is that the blade depth will actually reduce the higher you set the bevel angle. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span>Step 4: Make the Cut<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nNow, carefully line up the edge of the saw with the guide and cut through your material slowly and deliberately. Watch out towards the end, as the saw can wobble as you finish the cut if you\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Step 5: Sand the Edge<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nLast up, you can clean up any little splinters with a piece of sandpaper or file.<\/p>\nCompound miter cut.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>Tips for Accurate Cuts<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\nUse a sharp \u2018finish\u2019 <\/em>blade in your saw instead of the framing blade it comes with. This will help make the cuts cleaner and avoid splintering.<\/li>\nTry to keep both hands on the saw through the cut. This will help guide the blade straight and will also ensure you have a good grip on the saw in case of kickback.<\/li>\n To get an accurate cut you\u2019ll want to make sure you cut slightly outside<\/em> the cut line. You can always sand it down a bit if it\u2019s too big, but you can\u2019t add back material.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While circular saws are generally used for rougher cutting tasks, they can also be used to make fairly precise 45-degree angle cuts with a little preparation and know-how.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n
