Abstract

An elongated horizontal extension table for miter saws for cutting molding for the sides of equiangular polygonal frames such as picture frames. The extension table has upper and lower surfaces, first and second ends, front and back edges, a hinge on the lower surface at the first end, a vertically adjustable support leg on the lower surface at the second end, and a vertical fence along the back edge. A simple stop arm extends obliquely across the upper surface of the table from the front edge to the fence and angled toward the first end of the extension table. The stop arm has a clamp that wraps around the front edge of the table, and also serves as a releasable slide for the arm. The extension table is attached to the frame of a miter saw by the hinge, and is aligned with the miter saw table by adjusting the length of the support leg. A template with angled scale lines is adhered to the horizontal surface of the extension table. A method is provided for easily cutting molding accurately at a given angle, to a length measured between any two respective points on the finished ends of the molding. Additional templates are provided with different angles of scale lines for accurately cutting sides for non-rectangular polygonal frames.
