What happens here

Once all the leg boards are cut and ripped to their final dimensions, the creator returns to the miter saw. He adjusts the saw to cut a 45-degree angle. He then cuts one end of each leg piece at this angle, creating a pointed tip. These pointed ends will help the tomato cage legs penetrate the ground more easily for stable installation.

Goal: Create pointed ends on the legs for easier ground penetration.

to rip these boards in half on the table saw. In my case, they're an inch and 5/8. Okay, now that I got all these boards cut, I'm just going to throw a 45 on the end here so they dig in the ground better. Now that we've finished up our legs, we're going to do our cross members. So, go ahead and I did those at 18 in. So, we need 16 of them per cage. All right, now I got all these cross members cut down to 18 in.
