Saw Operations
Special Cuts
Cutting bowed material and round material are only examples
of special cuts.
CuttingBowedMateria/
IV !'vAvl'-_r'_ll_[el If workpiece 1 is bowed or warped,
clamp it 2 with the outside bowed face toward the fence 3.
Always make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line of cut 4. Bent or
warped workpieces can twist or rock and may cause binding
on the spinning saw blade while cutting (Figure 35).
Cutting Roundor IrregularlyShapedMateria/
r !-v*vg,-_r`i_ll_[_ For round material 5 such as
dowel rods or tubing, always use a clamp 6 or a fixture
designed to clamp the workpiece firmly against the fence
7 and table. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand
into the blade (Figure 36).
