I remembered seeing people years ago making jigs for cutting angle from a table saw. Can anybody enlighten some technics to get angle cutts done.

Peruse the files and articles of Finewoodworking magazine online. You might find them under Finewoodworking or Taunton Press. Either way, just remember that fingers are easier to keep attached that to reattach. Also, blood stains are very difficult to remove from wood, unless you are excessively anemic, in which case they are just a wee bit easier to remove.

The Shop Smith is a fine tool but if your budget only allows you the choice of a table saw or compound miter right now get the table saw. It will do everything a compound miter can, plus. With a few attachments you can cut dadoes, moldings, coves, tenons, and wedges. Coped, rabbet, and box joints are easy with a table saw and if you want to build some plywood cabinets, shelves or any other projects are you going to have the building supply store cut it all for you?

You can get an adjustable one of those slide pieces. Sorry I can't think of the name for some reason. I worked in some wood shops when I was younger but I'm a little rusty. You know- the thing that rides in the groove in the surface of the table when making crosscuts. If you don't want to buy an adjustable one just make yourself a wedge of the appropriate angle and use the regular 90 degree slider. Be careful.

most table saws have a groove in the table so you can use a mitter gauge to make the proper angles. I would suggest for in the future, if you end up needing to make many angled cuts, to get a radial arm saw rather than a mitter saw. a mitter saw tends to be a little bit more accurate, but radial arm saws can make many different cuts that mitter saws just cant match. not to mention the fact that radial arm saws can be used for table sawing, mitter sawing, and all sorts of weird cuts. many even have a feature that allows you to remove the blade and guard, flip the motor around, and use it as a router, or shaper. on a saw like that, the arm rotates on its post, the cutter head pushes in and out on the arm, the cutter head rotates on the slider on the arm, and the cutter head can rotate to manipulate the blade angle. you can put the blade in just about any position.

I have a table saw and the saw blade can be tilted up to 45 degrees to either side so you can make an angled cut. Check your owner's manual for advice. If you don't still have it then go on-line with the company that made it and look for information there.
