CUTTING A DIMENSIONAL 4X4 WITH ONE CUT (Fig.
DD)
A dimensional 4x4 may be cut in half with one cut by
attaching an auxiliary wood fence of 3/4 inch thick
board. See =AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE" fig. CC on
page 21.

VERTICAL MITER CUTTING (Fig. EE)
To make a miter cut in a 2x4 workpiece (1-5/8" x 3-1/2")
in the vertical position on edge, a spacer such as the
auxiliary wood fence described in the "AUXILIARY
WOOD FENCE" figure CC on page 21 is required.

cu'n'ING BASE MOLDING (Fig. FF)
Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on
a compound miter saw. The setup of the saw depends
on molding characteristics and applications, as shown.
Perform practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best
results:
1.Always make sure moldings rest firmly against the
fence and table. Use hold-down or C-clamps,
whenever possible, and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splinteringby taping the cut area prior to
making the cut. Mark the cut line directly on the tape.
3. Splinteringtypically happens due to an incorrect
blade application or use of thin kerf blades.
