How to make sharp cuts for an A Frame 2x4?

I'm working on an A Frame chicken coop (using these instructions) and I need to cut some 2x4 boards at a 60/30 degree angle. A friend lent me her metabo miter saw. It only allows angles to be cut up to 50 degrees, but I think I need it to go to 60 degrees, so that I can get that 30 degree cut. I'm guessing there's some trick possible to make really sharp cuts with this miter saw, but I'm missing it. How do I make this 30 degree cut? submitted by /u/mw44118 [link] [comments]
