CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING
is cutting wood across the grain,
at 90 _ , or square with both the edge and the flat side
of the wood
This is done with the miter gauge and
blade angle set at "0". The graduations
on the miter
gauge provide accuracy
for average woodworking
In some cases where extreme accuracy is required,
when making angle cuts, for example,
make a trial
cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square, or
protractor.
_f necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled
slightly
to compensate
for any inaccuracy
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and
the groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing.

TABLE
For maximum
accuracy
when
using the miter
gauge, always "favor" one side of the groove in the
table
In other words,
don't move the miter gauge
from side to side while cutting, but keep one side of
the bar riding against one side of the groove
NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper
to the face of the
miter
gauge
head,
This
will
hetp
prevent
the
workpiece
from "creeping"
while it is being cut.
The miter
gauge
may be used in either
of the
grooves in the table. Make sure locking knob is tight.
When
using
the miter
gauge
in the LEFT hand
groove, hold the workpiece
firmly against the miter
gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock
knob with your right
When
using
the RIGHT
hand groove,
hold
the
workpiece
with your right hand and the tock knob
with your left hand.
When cutting tong workpieces,
make sure the end is
supported
from the floor..
