Repetitive Cutting

REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of pieces
the same length without having to mark each piece (Fig. 44).
When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make sure it is
supported.
Never use the rip fence as a length stop because

the cutoff piece could bind between the fence and
the blade causing a kickback.
1. When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of wood 3" long to
the table at desired length to act as a length stop.
When clamping the block, make sure that the end

Miter Cutting

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle other than
90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same procedure as you
would for crosscutting (Fig. 45).
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table.
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold the
workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with your left hand,
and grip the lock knob with your right hand.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your
right hand and the lock knob with your left hand.
