Oddball cuts for a swan neck
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.

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 shop

You could clamp it down and cut it if your chop saw has a long enough throw.

Quick one... 56 degreees makes the final angle at 112 if you are joining two pieces.

Must be a unique design with an angle that is more then 90...
Post some photos to show us your buggy when done.
