REPETITIVE CUTTING

REPETITIVE CUTTING is cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark
each piece (Fig . 54) .
When making repetitive cuts from a long work-
piece, make sure it is supported .
Never use the rip fence as a
WARNING
length stop, because the cut-
off piece could bind between the fence and the
blade causing a kickback.
1 . When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of
wood 3" long to the table at the desired length
to act as a length stop .
When clamping the block,
WARNING
make sure that the end of the
block is well in front of the sawblade. Be sure
that it is clamped securely.
2 . Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until
it touches the block, then hold it securely .
3 . Make the cut, pull the workpiece back, then push
the cut-off piece off the table with a long push
stick . DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS
THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS .

MITER CUTTING
MITER CUTTING is cutting wood at an angle
other than 90° with the edge of the wood . Follow
the same procedure as you would for crosscutting
(Fig . 55) .
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and
lock it .
The miter gauge may be used in either of the
grooves in the table .
Basic Table Saw Operation
-39-
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand
groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the
miter gauge head with your left hand, and grip the
lock knob with your right hand .
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the
workpiece with your right hand and the lock knob
with your left hand .

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as cross-
cutting ex cept that the wood is also cut at a bevel
angle other than 90° with the flat side of the wood
(Fig . 56) .
Adjust the blade to the desired angle .
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT
or the LEFT of the blade .

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combina-
tion of miter cutting and bevel crosscutting . The
cut is made at an angle other than 90° to both
the edge and the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the
desired angle and make sure that miter gauge
is locked .
