A miter is an angled crosscut. Miters are usually cut in the same manner as crosscuts, using the miter gauge and a predetermined mark on the workpiece.
To perform a miter cut:
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.Ensure that the blade guard and splitter or riving knife is installed.
3.Determine the angle of your cut. If the angle needs to be very precise, use a protractor to set the miter gauge to the blade.
4.Place the face of the miter gauge against the edge of the workpiece and place the bar across the face of the workpiece. Use the bar as a guide to mark your cut as shown in Figure 45.

5.Place the miter gauge back into the slot and hold the workpiece firm against the miter gauge body. Slide the miter gauge near the blade and adjust the workpiece so the blade will cut on the waste side of the line.
6.Proceed to make the cut in the same manner as described in the Crosscutting instruc- tions.
When the blade tilt stop bolts are properly adjust- ed (Page 49), the blade tilt handwheel allows the operator to tilt the blade to the left, anywhere between 0° and 45°. This is used most often when cutting bevels, compound miters or chamfers. Figure 46 shows an example of the blade when tilted to 45°.
