Dusty,
You are teaching me well. Just another way of using the Wixey. The fence helped me keep the wixey straight for an accurate reading. I have a tenon master but this was easier since I needed the fence to make the cuts it saved me time. :rolleyes:

Holy Cow! KD! Very nice 22.5 degree angles!!! Proof that a Wixey and a Mark V go good together.
Your photos illustrate your system very well!

I thought this thread was dead & then I noticed the little numbers....the thread is fine. It's my brain.
Here is where I got my gauge from:

Chuck,
That was a six sided birdbath a 30 degrees. You are right it should have been 22.5 degrees at eight sides. When I tried to turn it I ran out of wood and it broke and flew off the chuck. I was turning slow so no real dander. So back to the Wixey at 22.5 degrees and see what happens there. I love learning to do woodworking.:o

It is embarrassing to find that I can no longer count. I would have sworn there were 8 sides to that house!:o

Take a small 6" long by 1" wide steel strap material no thicker than 1/8" - bend the end over 90' making a "L" shape. Put the Small "L"end into the saw slot or over the side of the table and use the guage on it. It has a magnet inside the bottom of the guage. Nothing to hard to do in a vise. Use a hand held sledge to bend it over 90'. Not to complicated to do out of scrap metal that any metal shop or hardware store( H.D. - Lowes- Ace-True Value-Ect...) might sell. :)
