Illustrate Bevel Cut Necessity with Wider Material

What happens here

To further illustrate the practical application of a bevel cut, the presenter uses a wider piece of wood. He attempts to make a miter cut, but the saw's blade does not extend far enough to cut through the entire width of the board at the extreme angle. This demonstrates why simply rotating the workpiece isn't always viable. He then switches to a bevel cut, tilting the blade, and successfully cuts through the entire thickness of the wider board, creating the desired angle.

Goal: Show a scenario where a bevel cut is more appropriate than a miter cut for angled cuts.
