How to miter cut two different width boards. Easy to follow instructions

This video demonstrates how to miter cut two different width boards to make a perfect miter. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great tips!

[@RareRiddemz]

Thank you being a straight shooter - no nonsense filler, just a solid lesson on what the title of the video says it's about. Very useful tip!

[@paullewis252]

Very straightforward, if I had only paid more attention at school. This helped me with my current project, so thankyou.

[@yardlimit8695]

now that's what i call a real useful video............short , to the point, no useless jibber jabber,,,,,,,,,,,,,,something you can use in the real world.....thanks.........

[@apatterson8128]

Never in a million years would I have ever figured that out if I didn't watch your video. Thanks for the tip, Chris. Up to 40K! Getting there.

[@SawdustandWood]

I can’t believe it, I never thought I would be at 40k. I’m very grateful!

[@apatterson8128]

@@SawdustandWood You shouldn't be shocked, you had great content.

[@asif530]

Absolutely perfect. Thanks for sharing this method

[@SkilsawDoctor]

I would have thought that you needed to have done some sophisticated math, but this was plain and simple! Thanks!

[@pargolf3158]

Yeah. The math is divide one width by the other and do some trigonometry like figuring out inverse tan of the division result ( don't remember my high school trig, but something like that).

[@sky3353]

This is exactly what I needed. Just had this problem a week ago and couldn't figure out what to do. I liked and subscribed earlier after watching one of your videos. Then went to your Video list and found this. Thank you.

[@sweetpeas8206]

I have been making spice racks with pallet wood. THIS video is exactly what I needed help with. Thank you! Your videos are always great for newbie woodworkers like me.

[@stevepicchi8986]

As always, you are the man, bro!

[@nigelboucher2014]

Have to say I watch a lot of KZbin videos on carpentry but I have probably learned more from you than all the others. Quick and easy and straight to the point

[@SawdustandWood]

Thanks! That means alot.

[@barrybebenek8691]

Thanks for this. The concept is so simple; but I am one of the many that would have never figured that out on our own. 🇨🇦👍🏼

[@andrewschannel3635]

Thank you for sharing, this is really helpful.

Great Tip, Love your channel!!!!

[@covidcol3505]

learned something new today thanks from the uk...

[@jim21804]

Great tip. Thank you.

[@harrellshomesteadwoodworks]

Great tip man! I'll definitely be using this as it seems all my projects now have turned into "Use what you got" for supplies! I also really liked how you removed the audio for the loud saw, very considerate of your viewers.

[@mikerobinson579]

Good, clear, no-nonsence vid - thanks.

[@victorvek5227]

I appreciate you for this. Just what I needed on this landing tread issue that I’m dealing with. Cheers & Merry Christmas to you sir!

Nice tip, thanks for video 👍

[@gw4738]

Brother, another awesome video for sure. When I commented on the last video I told you I had the very same saw and it is a great saw. Couple of years ago I got the light that shadows the cut for cutting trim. This thing would work wonders for making stuff like this so much easier. Just giving you a heads up it has worked wonders for me. Great video can’t wait for the next one.

[@willneville]

Bro, too easy. Thanks for this

[@timc8913]

Awesome. Timeless information. New sub! 😀

[@stevenm6775]

Thanks for the tip! Little late now cause I had a door frame too close to wall, and just rip the whole side off the miter trim I made lol it doesn’t look pro but lesson learned. Next time I’ll use a smaller trim on that side and do this. Love it.

[@SawdustandWood]

It will work

[@reymalaret9664]

Thank you, great 😊

[@labmanme]

excellent, thanks

[@KB-sm6pj]

Thanks brother

[@marcobrownstone]

Never cut boards that are that close to the blades other than this site good explanation. Keep those fingers away from the blades.

[@respectpleasethankyou]

Awesome

[@catsmeow5566]

Thanks! I have two pieces of trim that are not the same size and will need to miter cut. I was going to use the raw ends but then I saw how ugly the ends of the boards were. Even paint can't fix it so miter will be better. One will be about 1-1/2" and the other will be 5-1/5 so I will have to get creative with getting that angle for the smaller board. Might have to pivot the board. It will be a bit tougher because the wall where I'm putting the trim is not square.

[@markmedina8626]

Thank you so darn much!! Saved my ass

[@vitaminsea5109]

Great

[@BessieMorrison]

No. This is to easy! Can't be. Why have I not learned this before? Thanks ;)

[@timdolan4591]

oh I would have figured it out but there would be a bunch of wrong pieces of wood under the saw and the neighbors would have complained about language. Good job thank you.

[@jessegraves4379]

Now what if you need 2 pieces to fit together at a wider angle than 90

[@NerdFiction]

I'll have two trims on my windows now. One that looks horrible with two 45 miters, and the others that look correct after I've watched this video! haha (at some point I'll rip out and correct the others, but they aren't in super visable places so they do the job for now)

[@ladykenja2700]

- Always AWESOME info & demo that's helpful &n accurate BUT your fingers are "seriously close" to that moving 12" blade (frightening, "Yikes").

[@jakebov1305]

Looking to buy a dewalt mitre saw what model do you use please

[@derekdickinson1]

Can you show how this is done for an acute angle?

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

Can we get a video on how to do this cut on a table saw with bigger boards?

[@scottgloster3601]

What do you do when you have one miter at 40 and the other at 50. The 50 has a longer angle and now the two boards aren't even. Picture the letter Z. How do you join them evenly ? Thanks

[@lisarocco-richards6220]

holy COW

[@herroyalhighness5634]

I have a brain teaser carpentry question. I have a half-height wall that comes down my stairs. I want to trim out the top of it with a board (just like a top stile board on board and batten). So the front of the half height wall is a straight piece of the board, just sitting horizontal at the top of the wall. Is it even possible to turn that on a 90 degree outside corner to go up the stairs which also requires a 45degree upward slope? Is there any way to even do that? I know if it’s a flat stock piece there’s probably a way to do that, but the problem just got me wondering how you would do it with a decorative piece. I suppose it would be the same issue of putting crown molding up in a room with a vaulted ceiling, where the trim has to turn a corner on to a new wall while simultaneously sloping up because that wall has a vaulted ceiling angle. How do carpenters deal with those situations?

[@KB-sm6pj]

I’m assuming you can do this with the same size boards as well correct?

[@SawdustandWood]

Yes sir

[@Mojo27564]

If the wood is the same size than the first step would be good

[@paulgajewski5926]

Was the angle the same for both pieces?

[@andrewschannel3635]

I could see that it wasn’t from the gauge on the saw, but it would be nice to know how to calculate the angle in this situation.

[@tomt9543]

@@andrewschannel3635 Go to the local hardware center and pick up a sliding bevel gauge. They’re usually made with a wood “handle”, but some are plastic or aluminum, and the sliding blade is made of steel. Draw out the angle like he did, put the bevel handle on one edge of the board and adjust the blade to match the angle. Then go to your miter saw and place the bevel handle against the fence and rotate the saw until the bevel blade is touching the saw blade over its entire length, being sure it’s not touching a tooth. Lock the swivel and you’re ready to miter!

[@serggorelii7897]

Watch out for your fingers. You need to use something to hold the wood, you can't cut like this,it's dangerous!

[@jeffa847]

Where is your accent from?

[@HSWBuilds]

Thanks for the technique but please please don’t cut such short boards in the mitre saw. You are literally one tiny bind away from no fingers!

[@samgreenhow8205]

Completely different piece at the end and not even cut to the line

[@SawdustandWood]

Thank you sir for the positive feedback

[@adriancovarrubias3758]

He has a point though… The original 45 degree cut line on the 2 5/8” piece is not marked the same as the final cut line (along with the piece not sitting firmly along the fence) so what adjustments did you make off camera to make the angles fit?

[@ToddMatthewSmith]

Fingers are overrated 😂

[@edwardarata6995]

Dude, You’re so dangerous You should not be instructing anyone until you learn some basic safety skills
