EASY way to square up your miter saw to make accurate cuts. Great for Beginners

In this video I use my old Ryobi compound miter saw model TS1340 to demonstrate how to check the saw to see if it is squared up and accurate.  I also show how to make adjustments if it is accurate. Checking periodically will help ensure good quality cuts for your projects.  You will learn how to make sure your blade is squared up with the saw table and fence and ensure that the fence and table are squared up.  This sounds super cool and next level, but its great for beginners!  I have made several videos on compound miter saws.  Here are the links if you are interested in learning more about this awesome tool:
