Let's say you want to cut a piece of aluminum angle in 1.5" segments on a chop saw with a 100 tooth blade. It is rough on blades but cuts well.) I would prefer 1.5" wide -0", +.05". Can anyone suggest a method of doing this? Yes, I should use a band saw but I do not have one right now.
Solution: dig through my scrap pile to find a 1.522" wide piece that I milled. Put it against the blade. Press a piece Delrin against and clamp it in place as a stop against the back fence. Remove 1.522" piece. Push workpiece against stop.
The first two slices after running over the belt sander were 1 517" and 1.509". Taking them down to 1.50" on the mill will be easy
