I needed to hang a large, 30 x 30, corner cabinet that SWMBO had mebuild. I decided to use the angled cleat method hoping for maximumstrength since a TV will sit on it. Anyway...I angled the blade on my right-tilt saw to 45d and put the fence on theleft of the blade. I was ripping a 4x27 inch piece roughly in half forthe cleats(I didn't want to try and squeeze a push stick between theblade and the fence on the right.Expecting that the piece would want to lift up cutting it on the left,I clamped a feather board to my fence to hold down the piece. So farso good, or so I thought.I couldn't get a push stick to help me all of the way with the cutbecause of the clamp and the feather board so I ended up pulling thepiece through from the back of the saw.I know this was wrong, so what is the right way to do this, aside frombuying a new tool.
