Cross Cuts

Cross Cuts or "Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of the workpiece. In MDF or particleboard, crosscutting is cutting across the width of the workpiece.

To crosscut using the miter gauge, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the rip fence and position the miter gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.

3.Adjust the blade height so the teeth protrude approximately 1⁄4" above the workpiece.

4.Slide the miter gauge near the blade and adjust the workpiece so the blade will cut on the waste side of the line.

5.Plug in the tablesaw, turn it ON, and allow it to reach full speed.

6.Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as shown in

Figure 43.

Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed expulsion of stock from the tablesaw toward an operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be pulled into the blade during the kickback.

OPERATIONS

Miter Cuts

A miter is an angled crosscut. Miters are usually cut in the same manner as 90˚ crosscuts, using the miter gauge and a predetermined mark on the workpiece.

To cut a miter, do these steps:

1.Determine the angle of your cut and mark it across your workpiece.

Tip: A correctly calibrated miter gauge makes mark- ing angles easy. Place the face of the miter gauge against the edge of the workpiece, so the bar goes across the face of the workpiece, and use the bar as a guide (see Figure 44) to pencil in your cut.

2.With miter gauge in the table slot, hold the workpiece against the miter gauge body and align the mark to the blade.

3.Make the cut in the same manner as described in the Cross Cuts instructions.
