Table Saw Techniques For Bevel And Angle Cuts
Table saws are versatile tools for bevel and angle cuts. To make bevel cuts, tilt the blade angle to the desired angle, and adjust the height for the depth of the cut. For angle cuts, adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle and lock it in place. **Always wear safety goggles and consult the user manual for specific instructions.**
**Tips for successful bevel and angle cuts:**
- Use a push stick to keep hands away from the blade.
- Ensure the blade is sharp and properly aligned.
- Use a fence to keep cuts straight and consistent.
- Test your cuts on scrap wood before making final cuts.
