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.
If 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 help 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 lock knob
with your left hand.
When cutting long workpieces, make suretheend is
supported from the floor.
