(6) Compound (miter + bevel) cutting
Compound cutting can be accomplished by combining the miter cutting and bevel cutting operations described
in paragraphs (4) and (5) above. (For details, please refer to the Instruction Manual.) When the saw blade
section (head) is inclined 45˚ to the left, the table can be turned up to 45˚ to the right and left.
(7) Cut surface quality during miter/bevel cutting
The quality of the cut surface depends on the type
of cutting operation (miter or bevel), the type and
sharpness of the saw blade, whether the
workpiece is cut to the right or left, and various
other factors. In miter and bevel cutting in
particular, cutting is performed across the wood
grain, so the condition of the cut surface depends
on whether the wood is cut with or against the
grain. This is the same as when using electric
portable planers. Customers should be advised
of these phenomena so that they understand that
in cases when the cut surface may not be smooth
as expected or hoped for, it is not caused by the
performance of the saw blade or the Model
C 10FCB.
