Miter Cut
•
A miter cut is made at 0° bevel and any miter angle in the
range from 52° left to 52° right.
•
The miter scale is cast-in on the base for easy reading.
•
Positive detents have been provided for fast and accurate
mitering at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, and 45° left and right.
•
There is also a crown molding detent at 31.6° (see
Cutting Crown Molding for more information page 65).
•
For maximum support, the sliding fence must always be
as close to the blade as possible without interfering with
head assembly. (see Sliding fence adjustment, if
necessary, page 50).
•
For precision settings, use the detent override to lock out
the detent.
