Quick and easy 45 cuts on band saw

You finally got the fence on your band saw set to a perfect 90 degrees! Life is great! :clapping: But now, you need to cut some 45's. :mad:

Don't change that fence position! Simply clamp in a Fireball square (or in my case, a "tribute" to it) and your set! (ok, you'll have to loosen the one bolt on the moveable part of vise to clamp your work piece in but easy enough. 17mm in my case)

A great way to give an existing tool a new purpose. And if you are feeling ambitious, you could make a few similar squares in other commonly used degree's. 22.5 might be a good one or whatever you might use a lot.

Knew where you bobs409 were going, soon as "You finally got the fence on your band saw set to a perfect 90", though probably meant stationary jaw. While most pivot frame horizontals are similar in design, I don't recall any index pins for 90. Obviously, manufacturers don't like setting it either.
Angle blocks are the best solution.

I'd add one detail; slotting two faces length-wise *10 or 1/4" for adjustable stop. Handy again when it returns to weld bench...
