COMPOUND MITER CUT
A compoundmitercut isa cutmade usinga miter
angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This typeof
cut is usedto make pictureframes, cutmolding,make
boxeswith slopingsides,and for certain roofframing
cuts.
To make thistypeof cutthe controlarmon the miter
table mustbe rotatedtothe correct angle and the sew
arm must be tiltedto thecorrectbevel angle. Care
shouldalways be takenwhen makingcompoundmiter
setups due to the interactionofthe twoangle settings.
Adjustmentsof miterand bevel settings are interde-
pendent withone another. Eachtime you adjustthe
miter setting you changethe effectof the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjustthe bevel setting
you changethe effect ofthe miter setting.
It maytake several settings toobtain the desired cut.
The firstangle setting shouldbe checked after setting
the secondangle, since adjustingthe secondangle
affects thefirst.
Once the two correct settings for a particularcuthave
been obtained, alwaysmake a test cutin scrap
materialbefore makinga finish cut in goodmaterial.
