Cutting Aluminum Extrusion (Fig. DD)

WARNING: Never attempt to cut thick or round
aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may
come loose during operation and round aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the Figure DD to prevent
deformation of the aluminum.Use a cutting lubricant when
cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up of the
aluminum material on the blade.

mitering corners like the one shown in Figure FF. The joint
shown has been made using either bevel adjustment.

Using Bevel Adjustment
The bevel for the two boards is adjusted to 45° each,
producing a 90° corner. The miter arm is locked in the zero
position. The wood is positioned with the broad flat side
against the table and the narrow edge against the fence.
Using Miter Adjustment
The same cut can be made by mitering right and left with
the broad surface against the fence.
The two sketches (Fig. EE, FF) are for four side objects only.
As the number of sides changes, so do the miter and bevel
angles. The chart below gives the proper angles for a variety
of shapes, assuming that all sides are of equal length. For
a shape that is not shown in the chart, divide 180° by the
number of sides to determine the miter or bevel angle.

Compound Miter (Fig. EE–HH)
A compound miter is a cut made using a miter angle
(Fig. FF) and a bevel angle (Fig. EE) at the same time. This is
the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting
sides like the one shown in figure GG.
