        Went to help a friend install shoe moulding . There are a couple of angles that we can't figure out. We tried cutting it at 15 degrees. And working our way up the different degrees . And can't find it. Any suggestions ?

        Ned to use a "slidding bevel square" You can set it to the angle that you are after and then transfer to match up to a saw.

        That will work but I prefure using one of these.

        It will instantly give me the exact angle to set the saw for a single or a double cut.
        If you take the time to cope that moulding there will be no gaps that need filling.

        from the Quick and Dirty department... put a piece of scrap wood along the long side. put another over it along the short side. mark the angle on the bottom board with a pencil. cut and transfer to the final material.
