BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. 37)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at a bevel angle
other than 90° with the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the miter gauge in the groove to
the right or the left of the blade.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
Compound miter cutting is a combination of
miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut
is made at an angle other than 90° to both the
edge and the flat side of the wood.
NON-THROUGH SAWING (FIG. 38)
Add an 8" high flat facing board to the rip
fence, the full length of the rip fence.
Use featherboards for all "Non-Through
Sawing" operations. Featherboards are used to
keep the workpiece in contact with the rip fence
and the table as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards to the rip fence and
table as shown, so that the leading edges of
the featherboards will support the workpiece
until the cut is complete, and the workpiece
has been pushed completely past the cutter
(sawblade, dado head, etc.) with a push stick,
as in ripping.
Before starting the operation (with the saw
turned off and the cutter set below the table
surface):
a. Install featherboards so they exert pressure
on the work piece; be positive they are
securely attached.
Fig. 37
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the
desired angle and make sure that miter gauge
is locked.

b. Make sure, by trial, that the featherboards will
stop a kick back if one should occur.
Featherboards are not employed during non-
through sawing operations when using the miter
gauge.
Replace the smart guard system as soon as the
non-through sawing operation is complete.
