Cutting Base Molding
Base molding can be cut vertical against fence
or flat on the table. The maximum size that can
be vertical on the fence is 5-1/2” (140mm), flat
on table is 11-1/2” (292mm).
See the “Base Molding Cutting Instructions”
table below for helpful hints on cutting base
molding for corners that have 90° angles.
Cutting base molding can be done either as a
chop cut or a slide cut depending on the size of
the workpiece. (See “Chop Cuts” on page 37
or “Slide Cuts” on page 38.)
