The 45 degree cut - DIY woodworking India

The 45 degree cut 

In my previous post I had shown you a demo of my newly bought TS-2380 A staple gun. The primary objective is to build photo frames. The tool will make the joinery simple. As a photograph to be framed, is light weight in most of the cases, the joints made by the tool can easily bear that. 

Now to make the frames, I will be using plain wood beadings. The shape will be rectangular or square. To cut the 4 sides in 45 degree angle perfectly, I think its good to have a jig. Let me float the plan.

Add the protractor part with nut pointing above in the base. Protractor part is slidable and it is fixed in the rotating arm at the ends.

A closer look at the protractor angle adjusting screw.
I hope the plan is pretty clear. Advantage of this instrument is that it can be used for cutting almost all the angles required for day to day woodworking. I am yet to work on the plan. If anyone has already done it, please comment :).
