Miter Sanding
The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired dimension. Use the miter gauge to hold the workpiece at the desired angle.
To perform miter sanding operations:
1.Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten the knob.
2.Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it to hold your workpiece in position.
Note: The miter gauge can be used in either direction in the slot to achieve the proper relation of the workpiece to the disc.
3.With light, but steady pressure, push the workpiece slowly into the downspin side of the rotating disc (Figure 32).

Angle Sanding
To perform angle sanding operations:
1.Loosen the handles securing the table.
2.Use the angle gauge to achieve the desired table angle and tighten the handles.
Note: The disc table can be positioned from
