The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to
cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the
desired dimension. Use the miter gauge to hold
the workpiece at the desired angle.
To perform miter sanding operations:
1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and
adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten
the knob.
2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it
to hold your workpiece in position.
Note: The miter gauge can be used in either
direction in the slot to achieve the proper
relation of the workpiece to the disc.
3. With light, but steady pressure, push the
workpiece slowly into the downspin side of
the rotating disc (
Figure 32).

To perform angle sanding operations:
1. Loosen the handles securing the table.
2. Use the angle gauge to achieve the desired
table angle and tighten the handles
.
Note: The disc table can be positioned from
-15˚ to 35˚, relative to the plane of the sand
-
ing surface. Whenever possible, sand with
an open angle where there is plenty of clear
-
ance between the disc and the table. This
will avoid trapping the workpiece between
the sanding surface and the table.
