MITER/TRIM CUTTING GUIDE
The Dremel SM20, Miter/Trim Cutting Guide (Optional Attachment) and Flush Cutting Wheel is a perfect combination to make miter, bevel, and straight cuts in baseboard, trim, and molding. Angle indicators also aid in making accurate cuts for other common angles like 15°, 22.5° or 30°.
1.Measure and mark the desired cut line on the piece of wood.
2.Position the Miter/Trim Cutting Guide over the wood in the designated location of the cut.
3.Clamp the cutting guide to the workpiece in the desired location to make the cut.
4.Firmly hold the tool and make the cut.
Straight Cuts- use the outside edge of the cutting guide as the fence, (Fig. 17)
FIG. 17
45° Miter Cuts- use the angled edge of the cutting guide as the fence, (Fig. 18).
!WARNING Ensure the tool is properly seated in the guide before
starting the tool and use caution when stopping the tool within the cutting rail to ensure that the cutting wheel does not come into contact with the cutting guide.
Miter Cuts (15°, 22.5° or 30°)- Pivot the cutting guide at the designated corner to the desired
angle using the angle indicator marking on the cutting guide, complete the cut using the outside edge of the cutting guide as the fence, (Fig. 17).
FIG. 18
45° Bevel Cuts- While using the flush cutting wheel only, place the saw in the cutting rail to complete the cut, (Fig. 19).
FIG. 19
The guide positions the saw to make bevel cuts in workpieces up to 9/16" thick. To make a cut, first position the tool into the rail so the back of the tool’s foot fits into the keying feature. Switch on the tool and proceed to make the cut. Stop the tool before removing from guide.
Determine if a Inside Left, Outside Left, Inside Right, or Outside Right cut is required and orient the workpiece. Positions A, B, C, or D.
