Crosscutting

OPERATIONS

"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of a natural wood workpiece. In other man-made materials, such as MDF or plywood, crosscuttting means cutting across the width of the workpiece.

To make a crosscut using the miter gauge, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Ensure that the blade guard and splitter or riving knife is installed.

3.Move the rip fence aside and position the miter gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.

4.Adjust the blade height so the teeth protrude approximately 1/4" above the workpiece.

5.Slide the miter gauge near the blade and adjust the workpiece so the blade will cut on the waste side of the line.

6.Plug in the tablesaw, turn it ON, and allow it to reach full speed.

7.Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge (Figure 45) and ease it through the blade until the workpiece is completely past the saw blade.

Figure 45. Typical crosscutting operation.

Turn OFF the saw and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the cut-off piece. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.

Keep the blade guard installed and in the down position. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.
