Alan, For a really good post on sleds and angle cutting have a look at Jim's post which was a WIP post last year of a diamond plate he was making at the time.
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/dia...-w-i-p-111450/
Even if you don't make a similar sled I promise you will learn something from this post, he is an absolute whiz when it comes to angles & geometry.
Cheers, Ian"The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.. it can't be done.

And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"

Out of all the methods that I've tried over the years, the method shown here has given consistently excellent results. The beauty of finishing off on the linisher is that the matching lengths can be made EXACT.

I see what you mean Alex but because I start out with identical lengths, any error will be quite small, so I dab the wood against the sander then compare the sides by holding them back to back, if it's still longer then back to the sander if however it's now too short, the other one goes onto the sander. I've never had a proposed 230mm box end up only 180mm!

Here is how I do them on the table saw
Attachment 194410
I roll the blade over to 45 deg using my digital angle meter

Using a sled built specificily for mitres and using a stop block so I know the pieces are the same length I make my cut
Attachment 194413
The mitre before gluing up
Attachment 194414
After glue up
I get consistently good mitres this wayTwo things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.
