I'm thinking of making a jig that would mount on my crosscut sled for cutting 45* angles on panels.
I have a contractors table saw and I'm a little concerned about the alignment when the blade is tipped at 45*. Will tipping the work piece at 45* in a jig mounted to the crosscut sled, which is square to the blade, save me the concerns about alignment?
I saw an idea in a shop tricks book that said to build the jig at 48* and then adjust the blade to get a perfect 45* angle, that seems to bring the alignment issue back into play.
Anyone ever build or use the type of jig I'm talking about, or have any other ideas?
