Miter Cut
A miter cut is made at 0° bevel and any miter angle in the
range from 52° left to 52° right.
The miter scale is cast-in on the base for easy reading.
Positive detents have been provided for fast and accurate
m
itering at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, and 45° left and right.
There is also a crown molding detent at 31.6° (see
Cutting Crown Molding for more information page 65).
For maximum support, the sliding fence must always be
as close to the blade as possible without interfering with
head assembly. (see Sliding fence adjustment, if
necessary, page 50).
For precision settings, use the detent override to lock out
the detent.
