16 / CUTTERS EDGE VENTILATION SAWS
Cutting deeper than the D-8 setting
Even with the D-8 set to a pre-determined depth you can
increase the depth of your cut - without changing the
setting
- by increasing the angle of the saw to the roof
surface.
While cutting at the normal forty-five degree
angle, the saw will cut to the depth you have set. But by
raising the angle of the saw up to ninety degrees, you can
cut up to one-half inch deeper for every one inch you have
set on the D-8 scale.
Fig. 7. Depth of cut at forty-five degrees.
In Figure 7, above, the saw is set for a cut of approximately
21/2"
inches. At the proper cutting angle of 45 degrees,
the saw penetrates to that depth.
But as you can see in Figure 8, below, the saw penetrates
another half-inch for each inch set on the D-8 - in this case
another inch, down to 31/2
inches - when the cutting
angle is raised to ninety degrees.
