Are there any brands of chop saw, weather abrasive or carbide tip that you can switch the 45 angle both ways? I know it sounds like a no brainer just to turn the piece upside down to made the matching cut. I was trying to cut some 2"x2" angle and not have the saw cut though the flattest part. To make proper use of the blade on my carbide tipped saw. Looked like I can move the adjustable side of the clamp, but then the hand crank side won't grab the work piece properly. Thanks

Takes a few seconds more to tighten it, but it's worth it."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
