Crosscutting - Grizzly G0700 Owner's Manual

Crosscutting

The Model G0700 can crosscut with the fence in
the forward or rear position, although it is easier
to load large workpieces with the miter fence
mounted in the forward position (see Figure 53).
Figure 53. Crosscutting with miter fence in the
forward position.
Mounting the miter fence in the rear position (see
Figure 54) gives greater stability for crosscutting
smaller panels.

Also, if setup correctly the rip fence can be used
as a stop block for making repeat cuts of the same
width. Figure 55 shows the proper fence position
in relation to the blade when using the fence as a
stop block.

it as a cut-off gauge.
To perform a crosscutting operation:
1.
Install the miter fence in either of the two
positions shown in Figures 53–54.
2.
Adjust the fence angle to 0˚, using the angle
scale on the miter gauge. If the cut requires
extreme precision, adjust the miter fence as
described in Squaring Miter Fence to Blade
on Page 65.
3. Adjust the miter fence so it does not extend
into the cutting path of the blade.
4. Set the flip stop to the desired width-of-cut.
5.
Load the workpiece onto the table saw. The
set up should look similar to Figure 47.
6. Adjust the height of the main blade
