  • Cutting angles can be done on table saws, bandsaws or miter saws and for nice clean edges, and angles that are quite narrow, the mitre saw, also known as a chop saw, is best, but to make safe, consistent cuts it's best to use a jig that your wood is clamped firmly to and this Miter Saw Angle Jig is perfect for those kinds of angle cuts, allowing you to easily make projects like wood stakes.

    Awesome. Thank you. This worked really well. I had one hundred wooden stakes to sharpen. I followed the instructions to the letter and got them all done. So appreciate people sharing their knowledge like this.

    Been looking for this jig for YEARS!! And the variation to it that allows for a square or rectangular “button” with a very low pyramid such as a trim detail on a wrought iron gate!!!
    Thanks Colin!!!
    Yay...

    I had to make 20 stakes yesterday, for concrete shuttering, quickly so I used the 'unsafe method' which didn't give problems at all. I like this jig and I will make one as its more accurate.
    Thanks

    Hi Colin. If you screw a length of 2x1 to the inside of the blade edge to the jig you could clamp a block to it as a stop. This would also be quicker than marking every piece to get position. You could also make this to fit onto the mitre gauge of your table saw to achieve the same job. Great channel, please keep up the great shows.

    Used similar set up to make grape stakes in an old saw mill when I was a kid in high school, lived in Sonoma County, wine country. The old man used to buy bundles of two by two by twos redwood, we cut to different lengths to get rid of knots, cut tip and stack by size. I think I got two cents each, around 1968. Saw blade was fixed. Got pretty fast at it.

    Good to see a jig actually got made for this, wish my work knew of it, my Joiner boss chose to cut 3 freehand once, and I just happened to be nearby as my bench was right next to the saw, and still despite being 3 or 4 metres away, a piece of offcut came flying at me, and got me in the arm as I shielded my head, could of impaled my eye, impaled my arm, bloody dangerous, me and him were bloody lucky, but him being bloody stupid, even doing it on dimension saw would have safer and quicker coz u don't have to keep turning on and off or even lowering the saw and less chance for such a small piece to kick back at ya on a dimension saw, then the drop saw!

    I was wondering if you had a useful tip/jig for cutting a 54 degree angle into the end of a 2x4. My saw only goes to 45.
