What happens here
The presenter explains the critical advantage of the 45-degree angle on the stop block. When making multiple cuts, sawdust inevitably accumulates around the blade and fence. If the stop block were cut straight, this sawdust would build up between the workpiece and the stop block, pushing the workpiece slightly out of alignment and resulting in inconsistent cut lengths. The 45-degree angle provides a gap for the sawdust to fall into, allowing the workpiece to always sit flush against the fence and stop block, maintaining precise measurements for every cut.
Goal: Explain why the 45-degree angle is crucial for accuracy.
