BEVEL CUTS
Bevel angles can be set from 45° left to vertical and can be cut with the mitre
arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° right or left.
1. Loosen the bevel lock and set the
bevel at the desired angle.
2. Tighten the bevel lock firmly.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight
cross-cut.
• Allow the blade to cut freely.
Do not force the tool.
MITRE / BEVEL CUTS
As the number of sides the workpiece has changes, so do the mitre and bevel
angles. The chart below gives the cutting angles for a variety of shapes,
assuming that all sides are of equal length.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTS
A compound mitre is a cut made using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the
same time. This is the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with bevelled
sides.
1. Set your saw to the required
angles and make a few trial cuts.
2. Practice fitting the cut pieces
together.
3. Always try cuts on a few scrap
pieces of wood to verify the
settings on the saw.
