I'm trying to make a multi sided box and have to cut the wood at a 54 degree angle. My saw only cranks over to 45 degrees. I can get the blade over that far using a crowbar, but sometimes the wood burns a bit. Should I spray the blade with silicone?
I want the joint to fit well so the planter does not leak.
Any suggestions?
That and using silicone rubber for the glue up.

Is it possible to cut a 9 degree wedge and use it as your starting point, then make your cuts at 45 degrees from this wedge?

You need more clamps!
Yes, but you probably missed the thread titles "? on miter cut"
Is it possible to use something like a tenon jig with the wood vertical and the saw set to 36 degrees? A little more waste that way, but you wouldn't have to use a crowbar (cringing waiting for that loud snap of breaking metal. A crowbar???).
