If you are more specific with how you are constructing the cabinet, I am willing to help. The angle you are seeking is an internal angle of 120 degrees. It can be constructed a number of different ways. Your saw only goes to 45 degrees, cut from the backside of the piece at 30 degrees and you are left with a 60 degree angle. Put two pieces together and you get a 120 degree angle with a "mitered" corner.
