Miter Cut

Referring to Figure 26:

The sliding compound miter saw has ten positive miter stop indents (A) located on the saw base. The stops represent the following miter cut angles: 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6 and 45 degrees left and right, and 60° right. To make a miter cut:

1.Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick- cam miter table lock (E).

2.Raise the positive stop locking lever (C) up, at the same time grasp the miter handle (D) and rotate the miter table left or right to the desired angle.

3.Release the positive stop locking lever (C), making sure the lever snaps into place at one of the miter stop indent (A).

Note: The lever will only lock into place at one of the ten positive stops indicated above

Once the desired miter angle is achieved:

Bevel Cut

The sliding fence must be extended to the left or right when making bevel cuts. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Failure to extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through. This could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence resulting in damage to equipment as well as personal injury.

The right side sliding fence must be removed when making any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35º in combination with any right hand miter angle. This fence must also be removed whenever a 45º bevel angle is desired with a miter angle greater than 22.5º.

Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle as shown on the bevel scale. The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left and right bevel. Tighten the bevel lock handle (B, Fig. 26) by pushing down to lock the cutting head in position. Bevel positive stops are provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45°.

Note: The saw comes with a 33.9° bevel detent pin for setting up crown molding cuts when the angle of the walls equals 90°.

JMS-12SCMS specifications

The Jet Tools JMS-12SCMS is a standout in the world of sliding compound miter saws, designed specifically for professionals and serious hobbyists alike. This sophisticated tool combines power, precision, and versatility, making it an essential addition to any workshop.

At the heart of the JMS-12SCMS is its robust motor, which delivers an impressive 15 amps of power. This strength allows it to handle a wide variety of materials, from hardwoods to softer composites, making it ideal for intricate cuts and heavy-duty applications. With a maximum cutting capacity of 12 inches, the JMS-12SCMS can effortlessly slice through larger workpieces with ease, providing the kind of versatility that woodworkers crave.

One of the primary features of the jet saw is its innovative sliding mechanism. This sliding arm design allows for expanded cutting capacity, so users can achieve precise crosscuts and bevels without the need for additional tools. The smooth glide feature ensures that the saw moves effortlessly along its track, significantly reducing friction and wear.

The JMS-12SCMS also boasts a dual bevel capability, allowing for bevel cuts up to 45 degrees left and right. This feature is particularly useful for complex projects that require intricate angles, giving users the flexibility to make precise adjustments without having to flip the workpiece. Additionally, the miter angle can be adjusted to a range of 60 degrees to the right and 52 degrees to the left, providing a comprehensive cutting range for any project.

For enhanced accuracy, this tool includes an easy-to-read digital display for miter and bevel angles, allowing users to set their cuts with confidence. The built-in laser guide further aids in precision, ensuring that every cut is exactly where it's needed.

Safety is always a priority, and the JMS-12SCMS incorporates several features to keep users protected. The saw’s blade guard effectively shields users from accidental contact with the blade, while the electric brake stops the blade quickly after the trigger is released, minimizing the risk of injury.

In conclusion, the Jet Tools JMS-12SCMS is an exceptional tool that combines robust power, innovative features, and a focus on safety. Its advanced technologies and user-friendly design make it a top choice for those seeking reliability and precision in their woodworking projects.
