MITER CUTTING

Miter cutting is similar to cross-cutting except the

workpiece is cut off at an angle (up to 45 degrees right or

left) rather than being cut off square. The settings and

operation are performed in the same manner as cross-

cutting except that the track arm (A) Fig. 63, is first

positioned to the desired angle on the miter scale before

it is clamped in place with clamp handle (B). The

operator should position the hand holding the workpiece

on the opposite side to the direction of the miter so the

blade is pulled through the workpiece and away from the

hand. Fig. 63, shows a typical miter cutting operation on

the radial saw.

COMPOUND MITER

CUTTING

Compound miter cutting is performed in the same

manner as miter cutting except the saw blade is also

tilted to cut a bevel. The settings and operation are

similar to miter cutting except that the blade is first tilted

to the desired angle on the bevel scale before it is

clamped in place. Fig. 64, shows a compound miter

cutting operation on the radial saw.

RIPPING

Ripping involves making a lengthwise cut through a

board along the grain. When ripping, the track arm (B)

Fig. 65 and 66, are clamped at “0” on the miter scale.

The yoke is then positioned and clamped so that the

blade is parallel to the fence in either the inboard or

outboard position.When feeding the material, one edge

rides against the fence while the flat side of the board

rests on the table. The guard should be lowered on the

infeed side until it almost touches the workpiece, as

shown in Figs. 65 and 66, to act as a holddown. The

splitter and anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 65, should be

adjusted accordingly. The operator’s hands should

always be well away from and to the side of the blade.

When ripping narrow work, always use a push stick as

shown in Fig. 66, to push the work between the fence

and blade. NOTE: The workpiece must have one straight

edge to follow the fence. If board is bowed, place hollow

side down. IMPORTANT: The cuttinghead clamp knob

ripping operations. Pay particular attention to warning

label which states that material must never be fed into

the outfeed end of the blade guard.

OUT-RIPPING

Out-ripping involves all of the general conditions stated

under RIPPING. The yoke is clamped at right angle to

the track arm with the blade guard facing the front of the

machine. The cuttinghead is positioned on the out-rip

scale to the desired setting and clamped in position. The

workpiece is fed from the left side of the saw. Fig. 65,

shows a typical out-ripping operation on the radial saw.
