   With a combo cut like I think you want, (not a picture frame,) the angles of the miter and of the bevel are strictly related to each other if you want the edges to meet on both sides.

   Are you in fact, trying something like a picture frame where the outer edges of both pieces are raised off the wall?

   If not ignore the rest of this post.

   If so, set your fence or blade at 45* for the miter and raise the "outer" edge of each piece to 39* from the table.

   Practice on scraps till you get the concept down. I always waste a few scraps everytime I try this.

   The best method I have found for me, is to cut the first piece, nail it up, cut the matching end only of the second piece, and fit and recut as needed. When satisfied with the joint, cut the other end to length, nail it and start the third piece.

   I hope this helps, 'cuz, even knowing what I'm trying to say, it's clear as mud. And I'm not real clear on what you're trying to build.

   Hi Sam

   Imagine a gazebo with screens. I am making the frames to hold the screens

   These compound bevel things always trip me up. I have installed tons of crown using copes never a problem.

   I am attaching a PDF with my poor attempt at a drawing . Thanks for all your help

   CD,

   I think you're trying to bevel the wrong piece. Doing it as you suggest will leave the 51* cut of the horizontal piece longer than the width of the vertical trim. It will also make the lattice slot of the vertical trim 39* offset from the plane of the lattice.

   Instead, I would suggest the you "bevel" the back of the vertical trim to meet the post, leaving its' face to meet the horizontal piece at a 90*.

   The top, totally fantastic, hang in the Louvre, drawing of mine below illustrates what you are trying to do.

   The bottom shows what I'm suggesting.

   Well,  I got the "fantastic" part right, anyway.

   I seem to remember Joe Fusco having a page about this, but I can't navigate his site. Google Joseph Fusco for URL.
