This may be an oddball question, but here it goes.....how do you cut an oddball angle on a metal cut off saw when it only goes to 45 degrees. The
clamps on my saw don't go past 45 degrees, but I want to make a 56 degree cut. Only option I see is to use a protractor, score a line and then clamp
the piece down with some other type of mechanism other than whats provided. I know people make these types of cuts all the time, but perhaps somebody
knows some good tips.

Use an electric grinder w/ a cutting wheel. That is how I cut most all my buggy stuff.
use a protracting device for your angles.bigkid - 12-6-2012 at 05:51 PM
I use a Milwaukee portaband saw, cuts like butter and not so many round discs.

Yes, porta band saw would certainly be nice for such a task! I may have to borrow one from a friend since I don't own one at the moment. Chop saw,
bench grinder, angle grinder and lots of small tools is what I have to work with at the moment. What I wouldn't give to have free access to my
worS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s shop. They have just about everything you could imagine, including their own machine shopawindofchange - 12-6-2012 at 09:46 PM
You could clamp it down and cut it if your chop saw has a long enough throw.popeyethewelder - 12-6-2012 at 10:37 PM
I would do the same as WGRonH - 13-6-2012 at 06:40 AM
Quick one... 56 degreees makes the final angle at 112 if you are joining two pieces.

Yeah, that was the reason for the 56 degree question
Thanks everyone, you guys are really helpful.RonH - 15-6-2012 at 05:37 PM
Must be a unique design with an angle that is more then 90...
