to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the blade
during a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.
4. Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle
is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being
cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed
at angle shown in the table.
When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cut-
ting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.
5. Cutting crown and cove moldings
Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.
There are two common types of crown moldings and one
type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding,
45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle cove
molding. See illustrations.
