Bevel Cuts

What's a Bevel Cut?
A "bevel cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade
perpendicular to the fence (Fig. 41, 11) and
with the table (19) set at 0° miter. The blade can
be tilted to any angle within the saw's range: 47°
left and 47° right from the vertical.
The bevel scale is sized and positioned for easy
reading (Fig. 42, 8 and Fig. 43). The bevel lock
knob (Fig. 44, 30) is to lock and unlock the vari-
ous settings.

Rotating bevel stop indicators (Fig. 42 and Fig.
44, 9) allow you to set the most common bevel
stops: 33.9°, 45° and 47° Left (Fig. 43). The
33.9° bevel stop is for cutting 38° "spring angle"
crown molding flat on the table. For more in-
formation, see "Compound Cuts" on page 40.
