•A “compound cut” is a
•Because it may take several tries to obtain the desired compound angle, perform test cuts on scrap material before making your cut.

2.Properly position workpiece. Make sure work- piece is clamped firmly against the table or the fence(Figure 38).
!WARNING Use clamping position that does not interfere with opera-
