Crosscutting
The Model G0460/G0461 can crosscut 4' x 8' panels with the fence in the forward or rear posi- tion, although it is easier to load full size panels with the crosscut fence mounted in the forward position (see Figure 57).

Mounting the crosscut fence in the rear position (Figure 58) gives greater stability for crosscutting smaller panels.

This machine can also crosscut workpieces while using the rip fence as a cut-off gauge (Figure 59).
