▶ Making an Auxiliary Fence
Certain types of molding need a fence face
extension because of the size and position of
the workpiece. Holes are provided in the
fence to attach an auxiliary fence. The
auxiliary fence is used with the saw in the 0°
bevel position only.
1.
Use ¾” thick piece of wood (plywood is
prefferd) to cut an auxiliary fence based on
dimensions shown in Figure 37.
2.
Place the auxiliary fence against the miter
saw fence (figure 36). Check that auxiliary
fence does not interfere with head
assembly. Check for interference between
the auxiliary fence and the lower blade
guard. Make adjustments as necessary.
Check for interference
between auxiliary fence
and saw head componenents by performing
a dry run.
Fence interference can prevent
proper saw operation and cause injury and/or
tool damage.
3.
Mark the locations of the support holes on
the wood from the back side of the fence
(figure 36).
4.
Drill and countersink the holes on the front
of the support board.
To fasten from front of fence:
1.
Attach auxiliary fence using four (4) 3/16" x
1-1/2" long flat head machine bolts. Secure
behind metal fence with washer and #5
machine nuts.
Be aware of the path of
the saw blade. Make a
dry run with the saw Off by conducting a
simulated cutting cycle, and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands
at least six (6) inches away from the
projected path of the saw blade.
2.
Make a full depth cut to create the blade
slot.
To fasten from back of fence:
Use minimum 3/4" thick auxiliary fence and
1/4" round head wood screws (3/4" long).
1.
Drill four pilot holes through auxiliary fence
and run screws from rear of metal fence.
Be aware of the path of
the saw blade. Make a
dry run with the saw Off by conducting a
simulated cutting cycle, and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands
at least six (6) inches away from the
projected path of the saw blade.
2.
Make a full depth cut to create the blade
slot.
