Why does my table saw cut straight at 90 degrees but not at 45?

The miter fence is a little wonky. You should build a miter sled. Then it will make beautiful cuts.

I'm assuming you mean the "cut line " on the table. Make sure the spacers on the arbor are in the correct order. Maybe yours was shipped with out the correct ones. If all else fails, return it. This is a great saw

The TS 55 can make straight cuts up to 1-15/16" deep (or 1-7/16 on a 45-degree miter). The TS 75 can handle 2-by lumber. TS 75: 2-3/4" straight down and 2-1/8" at 45°

Mine has stops for 45 degrees -- both positive and negative. I've found that Rockler is really good to deal with and helpful, if you have product questions. I've called them about a couple things over the years, and they were always willing to find an answer for me, so you can also check with them about this saw, but it does have stops for common miter cuts.

the insert is a blank, you cut it by raising the blade. i dont think you could raise and cut for a 45. there might be a way to do it but some creativity and possibly dangerous action might be needed.

Probably not as it cuts bevels up to 50° or 55°(left and right), and on miter cuts you get 50° to the left and 60° to the right . It is a beautiful saw with little tweaks that you can make to it to customize it to your touch! They have put a lot of thought into all the details that come with this saw and it shows from the very 1st cut you make.

You need to reference two surfaces at 90 degrees to each other to conduct jointing activity. If you build a jig at a perfect 90 degrees, yes you could actually joint edges. However, I'm not sure this machine will hold up to those thick maple boards. Buy a good "glue-line" rip blade for your table saw. The blade will cost about as much as this machine.

I've used but two settings but I believe that there is a 45 degree. Not sure.

The 90 degree straight down is very accurate . The miter is adjusted by the operator. If it's adjusted correctly it will be accurate. Only draw back is there's no miter angle scale on the saw. Use a speed square or a angle finder and mark the base. It's a very good saw!

Hello there! The depth of cut at a 45 degree angle is 1-15/16in and the depth of cut at a 90 degree angle is 2-7/16in.

I don't think so, maybe 12.5 in max, at 90 degrees you can lift board to get a little more, cut specs should be listed in saw description. You can spin board and cut from both sides, laser makes lining up cuts easier than other saws and accuracy us top notch.

As I said above, "The trick was that you to turn the clamp lever in the reverse direction (counter-clockwise) than normal." I just asked my husband if this was hard to do and he said "no" and didn't have to use any special tools to turn it. He also said to say that when you do start using the saw, sawdust will collect in the back channel and prevent you from getting full 45 degree travel, so be sure to vacuum out the sawdust every use or two.We installed solid wood flooring throughout our house this past winter, and this little saw was a dream for easily cutting each board to proper length.

I would suspect something with the saw. Mine works great with the table saw.

I don't know about setting it to 90 degrees precisely, but there is an adjustable strap underneath the table. You control the angle of the table by letting out or taking in more slack. The more you let it out, the greater the tilt and vice versa. Does this help at all?

I couldn't tell the angle exactly but it is not 90. It doesn't turn that sharp. More like 110-120 degrees.

you can set zero at any starting point. if your blade is 90 deg. with the table to start, you can set zero and adjust from there.

Aaron,The saw has a stop that limits how far the blade will go down and at a 45 degree the saw stops before it is fully through the bottom of the board. So, the answer is no.
