Help with jig or method ...

[steve_b]

Oh - observation and question for using the SMT..

I find that whenever I use the SMT that - even when I clamp it down using the 'knob' that it will still come off the 90 deg stop if I'm not careful - (BTW I am doing it up - but it appears that the plastic clamp 'bottoms' out before applying full clamping pressure - reluctant to modify, not wanting to bugger up parts and then having to replace - as parts are expensive here in Can. (and not so easy to come by))
So by using the 'jig' as described by Loring - and considering that it has some mass to it - will this not make it worse?

I like the corner that cabinetman posted but excuse the novice question - how are you holding this as you run it thru (assuming that you use the TS for this)

Thanks for the help

Depending on the saw (I'm not too familiar with the BT), the pass is made with a miter gauge, sliding table, or a sled with the blade at a 45 deg angle. The slots can be made with the blade angled at a 45 deg to the bevel already cut.
