Hello. I've made two mandolins and three guitars with scarf joints. I've always cut these with a bandsaw (as recommended by most YouTube luthiers). Is there any reason I can't cut the 15 degree line with my miter saw? It seems like this would be a cleaner cut and easier. Am I missing something? Why don't luthiers use miter saws for these scarf joints?
Thank you!
I will give it a try on scrap wood next time I can get into the shop.
