MITER SCALE

The miter scale assists the user in setting the desired
miter angles from 45° left to 45° right. The miter saw table
has nine of the most common angle settings with positive
stops at 0 °, 15 °, 22.5 °, 30 ° and 45 °. These positive
stops position the blade at the desired angle quickly and
accurately.
