Miter Saw

The Miter Saw is a versatile tool used to make many different types of cuts in wood, but is commonly used as a quick method to easily cross cut a workpiece. A stop block can also be placed on the miter saw bench to achieve the same cut quickly without remeasuring.

Bevel Cut - Type of angled cut with respect to the edge of the wood. This is achieved by rotating the saw from side to side but not moving the base.

Bevel Scale - A proprietary protractor that quickly finds the correct angle to bevel two pieces of wood to.

Cross Cut - Type of cut that runs perpendicular to the grain of the wood.

Fences - Adjustable holds on both side of the saw that secure the workpiece to the parallel edge.

Miter Cut - Type of angled cut with respect to the face of the wood. This is achieved by rotating the base of the saw from side to side.

Trenching - A cut that does not completely cut through the workpiece, and instead creates a “trench.”

Stop Block - A scrap piece of wood that is clamped to the miter bench and used to easily replicate a cut repeatedly.
