How to Measure and Cut Stair Balusters to the Right Angle · Step 3 of 5
In this video
With the length and angle determined, mark your base rail according to these measurements. Place the base rail on the miter saw and adjust the saw's angle to match the stair angle you previously measured (typically around 42 degrees). Ensure you are wearing safety glasses before making any cuts. Carefully cut one end of the base rail at the marked angle. Repeat this process for the other end of the base rail, ensuring both cuts are precise and match the stair angle.
