Special Cuts
Cutting bowed material and round material are only examples
of special cuts.
Cutting Bowed Material
If workpiece 1 is bowed or warped, clamp
it 2 with the outside bowed face toward
the fence 3. Always make certain that there is no gap
between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of cut
4. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or rock and may
cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting (Figure
35).
Cutting Round or Irregularly Shaped Material
For round material 5 such as dowel
rods or tubing, always use a clamp 6 or
a fixture designed to clamp the workpiece firmly against
the fence 7 and table. Rods have a tendency to roll while
being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with
your hand into the blade (Figure 36).
