Material Clamping and Supporting
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting against
base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the workpiece can be
used to increase wheel utilization (Fig. 2).
• Long workpieces must be supported by a block so it will be level
with top of base (Fig. 3). The cut-off end should be free to fall
downward to avoid wheel binding.
