Need to cut wedge in a 2 x 4 X 74 inches as stud in wall gap of deck. Only have radial arm and skill saw.
I cut a wedge freehand with RAS but it was done on the flat side and I need the angle on the edge which I can't do freehand as it would be too dangerous for me. Time is no problem, of course, so any slow sure method of constant adjustments would be okay. I thought of turning the blade deck face down at an angle and feeding and adjusting as I go from one end, of course. Any suggestion of a better way or how I might set it up would be appreciated.
My RAS is great but basic. I have no fancy attachments.
My background is I have had the saw (Sears RAS) for 35 years and do basic cuts and angles but this is not my usual cut.
Thanks.
