Miter Cuts
What's a Miter Cut?
• A "miter cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade perpen-
dicular to the horizontal table (Fig. 44, 22). 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 workpiece
within this saw's range, from 52° left to 60° right.
• The miter scale (19) shows the angle of the blade
relative to the saw's fence (12). The miter pointer is
attached to the table (22) and indicates the saw's miter
position before the cut is made.
• Ten positive detents (18) are provided for fast and ac-
curate 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 Mold-
ing" on page 44.
• 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 "Miter Detent Override" on page 36.

• A miter cut can be made either as a chop cut or slide cut,
Reading the Miter Scale
The miter scale (Fig. 44, 19 and Fig. 46) used on this saw
includes several scales of information to help the user accu-
rately preset this saw before making the cuts.
Crown molding information – There are miter position set-
tings for compound-cutting crown molding flat on the table.
Crown molding with 38° "spring angle" uses the 31.6 setting
(with detent) and crown molding with 45° "spring angle" uses
the 35.3 setting.
NOTE: This cutting method also requires that specific bevel
angles are set. See "Cutting Crown Molding" on page 44.
