Repetitive Cutting
R
EPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of pieces
the same length without having to mark each piece.
W
hen making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make sure it is
supported.
N
ever use the rip fence as a length stop be-
cause the cutoff piece could bind between the
fence and the blade causing a kickback.
1. When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of wood 3" long to
t
he table at desired length to act as a length stop. (Fig. 63)
When clamping the block, make sure that the end of the
b
lock is well in front of the sawblade. Be sure it is clamped
securely.
2. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it touches the
block - hold it securely.
3. Make the cut, pull the workpiece away and back from blade,
push the cut-off piece off the table with a long Push Stick. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD ENDANGER
YOUR HANDS.
Miter Cutting
MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle other than
90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same procedure as you
would for crosscutting (Fig. 64).
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and tighten lock
handle.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table.
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold the
workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with your left hand,
and grip the lock handle with your right hand.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your
right hand and the lock handle with your left hand.
Before cutting, always make sure you securely tighten the lock
handle to maintain the desired angle.
Bevel Crosscutting
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting except that
the wood is also cut at an angle … other than 90° with the flat side
of the wood (Fig. 65).
Adjust the blade to the desired angle and lock it.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the blade. It
cannot be used in the groove to the LEFT because the blade guard
will interfere. Hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock
knob with your left hand.
Compound Miter Cutting
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter cutting
and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at an angle other than 90°
to both the edge and the flat side of the wood .
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired angle. Make
sure miter gauge is locked.
Note: See pages 5-7 for Table Saw Specific Safety Rules.
