4. Crosscutting
.
Crosscutting is the term used to describe cuts made in timber across the grain. This type of cut
requires the use of the MITRE GAUGE. This includes bevel cutting, mitre cutting and compound
mitre cutting (described later in this paragraph).
To perform a cross cutting operation, the work is firmly
held against the mitre gauge fence as shown in
Fig.16, with the mitre gauge bar located in either
the left or right hand groove in the table.
With the timber carefully lined up with the saw blade,
the mitre gauge is gently moved along the groove,
past the saw blade, producing the desired cut. Long
workpieces should be supported. A simple
arrangement is to clamp a piece of plywood to a
sawhorse as shown in Fig. 16
MITRE GAUGE ADJUSTMENT
To produce an accurate cut at 90
O
you should
check the gauge as follows:
1. Loosen the lock knob and set mitre gauge
body so the pointer is at the 0
O mark, then
tighten the lock knob.
2. Make a cut on a piece of scrap wood.
Check it with a square to see if the piece of
wood was cut at 90
O .
If the piece of wood was not cut 90 O , adjust
the mitre gauge body, tighten lock knob
and make additional cuts until you are
certain you have made a 90
O cut.
3. Finally, slacken off the pointer securing
screw and zero the pointer.

PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the Push Block using pieces of 10mm plywood
and 19mm hardwood as shown in Fig.10.
The small piece of wood 10x10x64mm should be
GLUED to the plywood. DO NOT USE NAILS or
SCREWS. This is to prevent damaging the saw blade
in the event you mistakenly cut into the push block.
Position the handle in the centre of the plywood
and fasten together with glue and wood screws
screwed in from below. (Ensure the screw holes are

AUXILIARY FENCE
Make one using pieces of 10mm plywood and
19mm hardwood. Fasten together with glue and
wood screws. Dimensions are shown in Fig. 12.
NOTE:
Since the Push Block is used with the Auxiliary Fence, the
120mm dimensions must be held identical on both the
pieces.
