can miter cut 6-3/4" tall base boards vertically
positioned against the fence at any angle from
0° to 52°. All angled cuts must be made with

to be flipped upside down or placed with the
face side against the fence. Always use a C-

base board up to 3-7/8" tall, no special place-
ment is required and it can be miter cut at any
angle left or right.
