    Default Calculating and cutting precise miter angles?

    Anyone have recommendations for a miter sled or way to measure a precise angle then cut it on your tablesaw?

    I have an electronic gizmo that mounts on my table saw blade with magnets, reads to a hundredth of a degree. Makes setting the saw easy.

    Works awesome. Rocker also sales a similar item. You could also build this easily on the bot.
    Good luck
