Using the MiterFast Tool
The MiterFast™ angle transfer tool converts a corner angle
measurement into a miter setting. The miter line in the
center of the tool is always at the midpoint of the two
angle arms, and when lined up with the saw’s laser,
provides the proper miter angle for the measured corner.
