mitering? I've got a workmate, and I thought there would be an easy way to set it up to cut 45 degree angles.. but it's not obvious.. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Yep. It grips a mitre box very nice and firmly.

Or one of these if you screw a length of 2" x 1" on the bottom

Dunno, but it's no good as a step ladder, as i found out one day, top is made of MDF it seems, and can't take 14 stones standing in the middle of it... for some reason,
still, a couple of steel repair plates made it almost as good as new.
The top of mine (ca 1980) is inch thick plywood. Looks like they've downgraded the spec - again. The oldest ones had die-cast alloy pieces; mine is pressed steel.

Yep, still got one of these. ISTR in the original advertising it was put forward as something to stand on - now the advertising says the later versions can't take it.

Mine is one of the oldest ones. New doesn't always mean better. Trevor Smith
