Cut Baluster Lengths and Angles — Set Up Saw for Angled Cuts
Part of project
How to Measure and Cut Stair Balusters to the Right Angle · Step 3 of 5
In this video
Using the miter saw set to the previously determined angle (e.g., 34 degrees), cut the bottom end of all the new balusters. Next, place two of the nailing strips as temporary spacers on the bottom railing, then place a baluster on top of these spacers. Mark the underside of the top railing onto the baluster. This mark indicates the exact length needed for each baluster. Repeat this marking for all balusters. Then, cut the top end of all balusters at the same angle.
