Cutting Warped Material - Delta ShopMaster S26-272L Instruction Manual

• The angles for crown moldings must be very precise. The bevel and miter angles are interdependent; changing one
angle changes the other angle as well.
• Since it is very easy for the work piece to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding. Also most walls
do not have angles of exactly 90°; therefore, you will need to fine-tune your settings.
• When cutting crown molding the bevel angle should be set at 33.85°.
• The miter angle should be set at 31.62° either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the application. See the
chart below for correct angle settings and correct positioning of crown molding on the work table.

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

When attempting to cut warped material, the CONVEX
face should be against the fence as shown in Figure 18.
Never position a piece of warped material with the
CONCAVE face or edge against the fence, as shown in
Figure 19. It will pinch the blade near the completion of
the cut.
To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious
personal injury, never position the
concave edge of bowed or warped material against the
fence.
