I measured the distance from the plate edge to the blade, which is exactly 3" on my saw. Then I just subtract that from my distance and place the square on my mark.

Incredibly simple; that few would ever think of. Wow! Thanks "Wood Magazine"!. For I imagine, that most seeing this "Gem"; is going to do this awesome woodworking jig!

So simple and effective 🙌

Very interesting, never thought about it before. I usually draw the line across the board

[@langstonrowe8243]

Why not just draw the line across the board?? 🤦‍♂️

Awesome tip. I made a jig for cutting plywood but it will not work for 2x material. This is so easy and costs my a dollar or so. Brilliant!!
