Miter-Detent Override
The miter-detent override feature allows the
miter-detent action to be locked out to allow
for micro adjustments at any miter angle.
When the desired miter angle is too close to
a standard miter angle that has a detent slot,
this feature prevents the wedge on the miter-
detent lever from slipping into the detent slot
on the miter-detent plate.
Miter Cut
A miter cut is made at 0° bevel and any
•
miter angle in the range from 50° left to 60°
right.
Positive detents have been provided for fast
•
and accurate mitering at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, and
45° left and right, 50° left, and 60° right.
There is also a crown-molding detent at
•
31.6° (see Cutting Crown Molding for more
information).
For maximum support, the sliding fence
•
must always be as close to the blade as
possible without interfering with head
assembly (see ADJUSTMENT, Sliding
Fence, if necessary).
