In mitering the pieces that form the angles of an octagon, the miter saw should be set at 22-1/2 degrees.
8 angles of 135 degrees each
If you cut a regular octagon into triangles, it would be 6 triangles. the measurement of all the angles in a triangle added up are 180 degress multiply 6x180=1080 the measurement of all the angles in a octagon added up are 1080 degress there are 8 angles in a octagon. divide 1080 by 8=135 135 degress in each angle in a regular octagon
get a cut out shape of octagon, then get cut out triangles and try to fit in the triangles covering all the octagon but here is the solution... j

You place to object you are about to cut inside the miter box, hold it against either the front or back of the box. place the saw in theGroves that line up directly across the box and start sawing.
If you are doing a 90 degree corner, the miter angles with each be 45 degrees at the cut. If you are doing a corner that is not square - you are going to need a protractor or another device to measure the angle. Square corner or not, the sum of the miter angles will equal the total angle of the corner.
8 angles of 135 degrees each
A compound miter saw can cut two angles at the same time. Very useful when cutting crown molding.
The motorised Mitre saw can cut materials at very exact angles.

Rip, cross, dado & "sink".Table saw cuts include rip cuts, crosscuts, miter box cuts and bevel cuts.A rip cut is a cut made parallel to the wood grain.A crosscut is generally at a fixed 90 degree angle.A miter cut involves a table saw with a miter gauge. A table saw with a miter gauge has one or two slots or grooves running from the front to the back of the table. These slots or grooves are used to position and guide the miter gauge or crosscut fence to set the miter cut at a precise angle. With this cut, the material being cut is angled versus the blade.Bevels are cut by changing the angle of the blade with respect to the surface of the wood on the table.
