CUTTING A DIMENSIONAL 4X4 WITH ONE CUT (Fig. X)

A dimensional 4x4-in may be cut in half with one cut by attaching an auxiliary wood fence of 3/4 inch thick. See “AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE” above.

VERTICAL MITER CUTTING (FIG. Y)

To make a miter cut in a 2x4 workpiece (1-5/8” x 3-1/2”) in the vertical position on edge a spacer such as the auxiliary wood fence described in the “ AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE” section is required.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. Z)

Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a compound miter saw. The setup of the saw depends on molding characteristics and applications, as shown. Perform practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best results:

1.Always make sure moldings rest firmly against fence and table. Use hold-down or C-clamps, whenever possible, and place tape on the area being clamped to avoid marks.

2.Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making cut. Mark cut line directly on the tape.

3.Splintering typically happens due to wrong blade application and thinness of the material.

NOTE: Always perform a dry run cut so you can determine if the operation being attempted is possible before power is applied to the saw.
