Miter Cuts
WHAT'S A MITER CUT?
• A "miter cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade per-
pendicular to the horizontal table. The blade is not
tilted and the bevel pointers are both on the 0° lines.
• Miter cuts can be made at any angle across a work-
piece within this saw's range, from 52° left to 60°
right.
• The miter scale shows the angle of the blade relative
to the saw's fence. The miter pointer is attached to
the turntable and indicates the saw's miter position
before the cut is made.
• Ten positive detents are provided for fast and
accurate preset miter angles – locations are at 45°,
31.6°, 22.5°, 15° left and right, and center at 0°. The
right side has an additional detent of 60°.
• The crown molding detents on the left and right are
at 31.6° for compound cutting 38° "spring angle"
crown molding lying flat on the table (see Cutting
Crown Molding on page 53).

• For precision settings at miter angles very close to
the miter detents, use the miter detent override to
prevent the detent from automatically engaging
the detent slot. See detent override instructions
on page 41.
• A miter cut can be made either as a chop cut or
slide cut, depending on the width of the work-
piece.
• The kerf inserts should be adjusted to be as close
to the blade as possible to reduce splintering (see
kerf insert instructions on page 25).
READING THE MITER SCALE
The miter scale used on this saw includes several scales
of information to help the user accurately preset this
saw before making the cuts (see Fig. 44).
