When exact length ( as is the case for stair treads, or similar items that really have to be exactly the same length ) is required, I test cut the first piece, measure the amount of " error ", reset the stop on the chopper for that amount of error, and use the NWSL "True Sander", to sand all the pieces to the correct length.
Styrene sheet, 0.060", can be used to make angle guides ( 30,45,60 degree or what ever ), to help when using the sander, to get a consistent angle cut.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
