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.)
