Pocket Cutting (Fig.M)
A pocket cut is an easy method of making an inside cut. The
saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without
first drilling a lead or pilot hole. In pocket cutting, measure the
surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw
forward until the front end of the shoe sits firmly on the work
