Making angled cuts

Is there anyway to make angled cuts without a table saw? I dont have any access to a table saw and I want to make angled cuts on my box for my amps. It doesn't have to be perfect or anything.

Like a miter cut?

45 degree edges?

It can be done with a table saw, radial arm and a circular saw, as well as a miter saw

Most circular saws can make angle cuts. Just clamp a stright edge to guide the saw and cut away..

Yes I want to make an angled cut on the edge of the wood.

You need to use the black knob you can see on the front of that saw. Loosen it, adjust the blade's angle, then tighten it down. Most are adjustable from 0 to 50 degrees or so.
