How to make this 15 degree cut on the MFT

[Connor]

See attached drawing. How would you set up the MFT to make these cuts? The 15 degree cut in particular is really kicking my butt.

To hard to type out. Study the pictures, be careful with your set up.

Set the saw to 15º.

It appears you are working with 1.5" square stock. Use a sacrificial piece of the same dimensions (only the length necessary) and set both pieces parallel for stability, and make the cut vertically by laying your track across both. If you have multiple pieces to cut, you can set up stops on your MFT top, and use clamps, to repeat the process. In this case I would likely not be employing the MFT fence.
Good luck with your project.

Thanks Rich, your suggestion helped and I realized I can use the MFT fence with a spacer to offset the work piece from the fence. I'll take a picture of my setup and post it here probably later this week.
