The Dremel Saw-Max, Miter Guide and Flush
Cutting Wheel is a perfect combination to

baseboard, trim, and molding, (Fig. 25). Angle
indicators also aid in making accurate cuts for
other common angles like 15°, 22.5° or 30°.
1. Measure and mark the desired cut line on
the piece of wood.
2. Position the Miter Guide over the wood in
the designated location of the cut.
3. Clamp the cutting guide to the workpiece in
the desired location to make the cut.
4. Firmly hold the tool and make the cut.
1. 45° Miter Cuts- use the angled edge of the

2. 45° Bevel Cuts- While using the flush
cutting wheel only, place the saw in the cutting
rail to complete the cut, (Fig. 22).
FIG. 22
The guide positions the saw to make bevel
cuts in workpieces up to 9/16" thick. To make
a cut, first position the tool into the rail so the
back of the tool's foot fits into the keying
feature. Switch on the tool and proceed to
make the cut. Stop the tool before removing
from guide, (Fig. 24).
Determine if a Inside Left, Outside Left, Inside
Right, or Outside Right cut is required and
orient the workpiece. Positions A, B, C, or D.
3. Straight Cuts- use the outside edge of the
cutting guide as the fence, (Fig. 23)
