To make a
miter cut, precut the wood slightly oversized (1/4" or so) and then
trim each end with the trimmer. When
making multiple cuts of the same length, the Measuring Attachment speeds
things up and ensures accuracy. |
 |
To make a compound miter
you should make your miter out on the trimmer and then using a block,
tip the wood to the desired angle and make a second cut. |
 |
To miter angles other
than 45º, depress the pin stop and loosen the thumb screw to move the
gauge. Use a protractor or adjustable bevel square to set the desired
angle. You do not need to tighten the thumb screw with anything other
than your fingers. Using too much force will break the gauge. |
 |
To make a chamfer cut, first cut the piece
at 90º. Then, using a block, cut bevels around each side. |
 |
Set your gauge to 90º and trim your wood
to the desired length. |
 |
Draw the shape you want and then use a
series of cuts to achieve your round. It helps sometimes to remove
one or both gauges to make it easier. |
