| Cut a 45-degree wedge, and hold that against the fence with the piece of wood you want to against it. Bob

| Ben, I have several wedges of differing angles so as to add to the 45 degree angle. I use them on the miter saw and table saw. Tom

 | If I'm understanding your question correctly, I typically just use the complimentary angle (i.e. 30° for a 60° angle).

| Not my pictures but this is where I was having problems cutting the sharp angle. These pictures show a 45 degree cut. I needed a cut around 15 degrees. |

| Ok if I understand right, if you put your board on the saw and raise the non cut end as high as needed you might get it. The easy way would be to put some cement blocks on the boards and tow them to a while. That would sand them to the exact angle you need. Being serious I would just use a hand saw. Alan. |

| Wood The way i would do it , was put a nail in the edge, then take a string and pull tight to bottom of the board , a chaulk line works great, now you got the line and proper angel,next mount it up in your bench vise, and using a new or very sharp handsaw , saw slowly and follow the line or close to it, then finsh up with a sanding, then to protect it it follow up with a wood preserve of your choice, or mayby you need not cut wood at all, as they have metal on both ends now in differnt loading ramps kit , you just supply the wood and bolt the ends on. |

| No doubt a handsaw would be safest. Me, I would just buy a set of steel ramps.

|  Ramp Goodmorning , before we get into this too deep, i'm gonna ask what these ramp's are for, next you might go to local truckstop and get some mud flaps, they have heavy thick plastic one's,most time they throw away, i would cut a flap off and mount to the end of the board ,as i tell from pic , that's all you need to get over the lip.Just a thought.  |
