Is this a 30 or 45 deg miter cut?
I'm replacing a rotted 2x4 on deck stairs.
I have to miter box cut the longer piece, the one in the foreground that leads to a mitered corner on the right. Is it a 30 or 45 degree cut? Hard for me to tell.

Two 45's make a 90. So I'm assuming if you are talking about the miter joint on the stair tread, that would be a 45.

Well if the thickness is different, all bets are off.... it could be 60-30. They look the same thickness in the picture. Don't you have a sliding t bevel?

Well they are like $5-10, you might get one next time you are at the box store. Handy for duplicating / finding angles.

If trim boards are different widths, cut corners as follows. On the wider board, the angle cut is from the outside corner to the point on the inside that is the width of the narrower board.
