A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the miter
table set at the zero degree position.
Miter CROSSCUTTING
Miter crosscuts are made with the miter table set at some
angle other than zero.
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece
with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel cut
is made with the miter table set at the zero degree position
and the blade set at an angle between 0 and 45.
COMPOUND MITER CUT
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and
a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to
make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides,
and for certain roof framing cuts.
