and def do not use a square.
You can use a square - looks like only the insides of the legs are tapered, with the outsides straight. As long as you register the square on the non-tapered faces, it'll work fine.
Well either it's my dodgy lamps or my dodgy phone, but hey ho smile

Hi all
Please see photo
I need to reduce the height of a wooden desk that has eight legs. I haven't done this type of DIY job before... don't want to use a manual saw, please can you advise what electric saw would be the easiest and cheapest to use please?

How many legs? confused
Bumped for a leg count!

There's probably another one of those units that looks very similar to that one. (Except for maybe a chewed up leg or two after taking some of the advice given on here).smile

Actually, I'm confused too now. Are those legs not parallel?

Might need a sliding bevel rather than a square...
