We made a jig that held the hardboard (or the plywood tops) at the 16 degree angle. This worked, except that the uneven pressure on the blade caused it to deflect so we couldn't get a cut as deep as we wanted. If we tried to over compensate, the blade would dig in too deep by deflecting the other direction.

When cutting the plywood tops for the platforms, we clamped a 2 x 4 to the center to keep the plywood straight.
