Mitre Cutting
Mitre cutting is the term used for cutting at an angle
other than 90
O
to the edge of the wood.
1.
Adjust the mitre gauge to the desired angle, and
lock it.
•
The mitre gauge may be used in either of the
grooves in the table.
•
When using the mitre gauge in the LEFT hand
groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the
mitre gauge with your left hand and push with
your right.
•
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your RIGHT HAND and the lock
knob with your left hand.
Bevel Crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except
that the wood is also cut at an angle, other than 90
degrees with the flat side of the wood.
1.
Adjust the blade to the desired height and angle.
•
Use the mitre gauge in the right hand groove. Do
not use the left hand groove, the blade guard
will interfere.
•
Hold the workpiece with your right hand and the
push with your left hand.
Compound Mitre Cutting
Compound mitre cutting is a combination of mitre cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at an
angle other than 90
O
to both the edge and the flat side of the wood.
•
Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to the desired angle.
•
Make sure the mitre gauge body is locked.
WARNING!
WHEN MITRE CUTTING, AN AREA OF BLADE IS EXPOSED.
GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN USING THE TABLE SAW FOR THIS OPERATION.
