BASIC CUTTING TECHNIQUES Cont….
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING
This operation is the same as cross cutting except that the bevel angle is set to an angle
other that 0°. After changing the bevel angle, check the alignment of the guard and splitter
and make sure there is clearance with the saw blade.
MITERING
This operation is the same as cross cutting, except that the miter gauge is locked to an
angle other than 0°. Hold the work piece firmly against the miter gauge and feed the work
piece slowly in to the blade to prevent it from moving during the cut.
COMPOUND MITERING
This is a combination of bevel cross cutting and mitering. It is infrequently used. Follow the
instructions for both bevel cross cutting and mitering.
