The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired dimension. Miter sanding can be done easily with the miter gauge.
To perform miter sanding operations:
1.Loosen the knob on the miter gauge, adjust the angle to the desired point, and 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.Using light pressure, move the workpiece slowly back and forth across the disc as shown in Figure 12.

Never use the Model H7761 for applica- tions other than those for which it was made. DO NOT overload the machine or use excess force when sanding. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur.
Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This will keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands from the rotational forces.
Miters can also be sanded by changing the angle of the table.
To perform angle sanding operations:
1.Loosen the angle knobs securing the table.
2.Use the angle gauge to acheive the desired table angle and tighten the angle knobs.
Note: The disc table can be positioned from 0˚ to 45˚, relative to the plane of the sanding surface.
3.Slide the miter gauge into the miter slot and use the miter gauge to hold your workpiece in position.
4.Using light pressure, push the workpiece slowly into the downspin side of the rotating disc (Figure 13).
