    Default Cutting Long Angles

    I want to cut a 10° angle on a sheet of MDF about 600 mm long on both sides. Anyone give a suggestion on how to do this easily as I need to cut a few pieces.

    Rodney,
    Use the triton in tablesaw mode but always keep the fence square to the blade. You can use a packing piece, square on one side up against the fence and cut at 10 degrees on the side closest to the saw. If you then place your work piece against this packing piece, you're aligning it at 10 degrees to the saw without the risk of jamming the timber between the fence and the saw. If you've got the triton instruction videos ( all 6 hours of them!!), theres also a great way of using an adjustable supplementary fence that fits over the main fence and has a hinge that allows you to spread open the arm closest to the blade to any angle. ( I wish I had some way of drawing this for you!)
    Hope this helps,
    Mark
