stumped....

I just bought a "real" chop saw and must say I'm SO dissappointed in the damn thing. This for me was expensive. ---one of the yellow ones, must be DeWalt ---Cost me over 200 bucks out the door.

The table left to right is not "flat" all the way across. There's a narrow area under the vise that's raised, makes it difficult to get a piece "settled." The vise "nut" is a quick release PLASTIC.

But the short story is, if you have to "turn the piece around" IE put the work piece in the vise and stick the waste out, or vise versa, you should be able to cut that angle. If the piece you are cutting is too wide to fit the vise vertically, you'll just need a flat scrap of "anything," even plywood to "raise" the rear of the vice effective jaw height.

Who made your plasma? Might be cheaper to order consumables online and have them shipped rather than running into town.
