• Place the workpiecefiat on the mitertable with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board
is warped, place the convexside against the
fence. If the concave edge of a boardis placed
againstthe fence, the beard couldcollapseon the

COMPOUND MITER CUT
A compoundmitercut isa cut made usinga miter
angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of
cut is usedto make pictureframes, cutmolding,make
boxeswith slopingsides,and for certain roofframing
cuts.
To make thistype of cut the controlarm on the miter
table mustbe rotated tothe correct angle and the sew
arm must be tiltedto thecorrectbevel angle. Care
shouldalways be takenwhen makingcompoundmiter
setups due to the interactionofthe twoangle settings.
Adjustmentsof miterand bevel settings are interde-
pendent withone another. Eachtime you adjust the
miter setting you changethe effectof the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjustthe bevel setting
you changethe effect ofthe miter setting.
It maytake several settings to obtain the desired cut.
The firstangle setting should be checked after setting
the secondangle, since adjustingthe secondangle
affects thefirst.
Once the two correct settings for a particularcut have
been obtained, alwaysmake a test cut in scrap
materialbefore makinga finish cut in goodmaterial.
