10. BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATION
MITRE CUTTING:
There are two methods available to cut a mitre.
– This operation is the same as cross cutting except
the mitre guide is set at any angle other than 90°.
(i) Sliding the mitre gauge in the rail on the side of
the table top.
Note: As with the bevel angle the mitre cut angles are
an estimate, for a true angle to be achieved then a
piece of spare wood needs to be cut and measured,
any fine adjustments can be made until correct angle
is achieved.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING:
– This operation is the same as cross cutting except
that the blade angle is set to an angle greater
than 0°.
WORK PIECE SUPPORT:
– Longer pieces need extra supports, for example, a roller stand
$
(Draper stock No.13886
or 19192). The supports should be placed to the side for wider material or to the rear for
longer material so the work piece does not sag or kick up.
– The support should allow the work piece to lay flat on the table during the cutting
operation.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING:
– This is a combination of bevel cross cutting and
mitre cutting. It is very infrequently used.
– Follow the instructions for both mitre cutting and
bevel cross cutting.
CROSS CUTTING:
Using a mitre guide.
– Set the blade height 5mm above the work piece
top.
– Hold the work piece firmly against the mitre guide
with both hands.
– Start the saw and allow the blade to spin up to full
speed. Whilst gripping the work piece firmly
against the guide and pushing flat against the
table, slowly slide the wood through the blade.
