5.4.6 Angle cut
Checking the angle cut
Before checking the angle cut, check the settings of the sliding table and of the
swinging arm, and correct them if necessary.
Carry out the check as follows:
As the tool, use a sharp saw blade, D = 350 mm/ 3.5/2.5/72 teeth alternate be-
vel at n = 5000 rpm. Take a 1000 x 1000 mm chipboard or MDF board, mini-
mum board thickness 19 mm. Perform 5 cuts (see fig.), laying the last cut side
at the crosscut fence for the next cut (turn the board counterclockwise). For the
5th cut, cut off a strip with a width of approx. 10 mm. Measure the thickness at
both ends of the strip with a vernier caliper. The difference between the two di-
mensions divided by 4 gives the angular error per metre cut length.
Check:
The angle cut must be checked at a minimum of 2 different positions on the
cross-slide of the sliding table.
Factory setting:
The cross-slide is clamped to positions of approx. 300 mm and 1300 mm from
the sliding table end. In these two positions, the angle cut is checked and ad-
justed as described above. Ensure that the setting does not exceed the maxi-
mum permissible tolerance of
< 0.2 mm (for the 5th cut (dimension 1 -
dimension 2)).
