Saw Operations

Miter Cuts

Miter cutting 5-1/4" base boards – This saw can miter cut 5-1/4" tall base boards vertically positioned against the fence at any angle from 0° to 52°. All angled cuts must be made with the base board placed on the left side of the table. For certain cuts, the base board will have to be flipped upside down or placed with the face side against the fence. Always use a C-clamp to hold the base board to the fence before making cuts. NOTE: For cutting standard base board up to 4-1/4" tall, no special placement is required and it can be miter cut at any angle left or right.
