4) 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 and be sure that
the mitre gauge is locked. (See Fig24)
5) Repetitive cutting
Repetitive cutting is cutting a number of pieces
the same length without having to mark each
piece. Do not feed the workpiece with your right
hand, just guide it making sure that it does not
bind or pinch the saw blade. Use the rip fence
as a length stop ensuring that the rip fence is
positioned identically at the front and rear sides.
Also ensure that the workpiece is held firmly on
the mitre gauge and push the workpiece through
gently with the push stick. (See Fig25)
6) Using the rip fence
Ripping, bevel ripping, resawing and Rebating
are done using the rip fence.
7) Ripping
Ripping is cutting a piece of wood with the grain
in line. This is done using the rip fence. Position of
the fence to the desired width of the rip and lock it
in place. Before starting to rip be sure.
a) The rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
b) The riving knife is properly aligned with the
saw blade.
When ripping long boards or large panels always
use a work support. Hold the piece against the
fence and feed it through the blade with a smooth,
steady pressure with the push stick. When the
ripping width is wider than 150mm (6”) use your
right hand to feed the workpiece until it is clear
of the table. Use your left hand only to guide not
feed the workpiece. (See Fig26)
8) Bevel ripping
When bevel ripping material 150mm (6”) or
narrower use the fence on the right side of the
blade only. (See Fig26)
