Cutting Base Molding
•Base molding can be cut vertical against fence or flat on the table. The maximum size that can be vertical on the fence is
•Follow the table for helpful hints on cutting base molding for corners that have 90° angles.
•Cutting base molding can be done either as a chop cut or a slide cut depending on the size of the workpiece.
