What's a Miter Cut – Saw features
A "miter cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade
perpendicular to the horizontal table. The blade is
not tilted and the bevel pointers are both on the 0°
lines.
Miter cuts can be made at any angle across a
workpiece within this saw's range, from 52° left to
60° right.
The miter scale shows the angle of the blade
relative to the saw's fence. The miter pointer is
attached to the turntable and indicates the saw's
miter position before the cut is made.
Ten positive detents are provided for fast and
accurate preset miter angles – locations are at
45°, 31.6°, 22.5°, 15° left and right, and center at
0°. The right side has an additional detent of 60°.

The crown molding detents on the left and right
are at 31.6° for compound cutting 38° "spring
angle" crown molding lying flat on the table (see
Cutting Crown Molding on page 45).
For precision settings at miter angles very close to
the miter detents, use the miter detent override to
prevent the detent from automatically engaging
the detent slot. See detent override instructions on
page 33.
A miter cut can be made either as a chop cut or
slide cut, depending on the width of the workpiece.
The kerf inserts should be adjusted to be as close
to the blade as possible to reduce splintering (see
kerf insert instructions on page 20).
Reading the Miter Scale
The miter scale used on this saw includes several
scales of information to help the user accurately preset
this saw before making the cuts (see Figure 44).
