I am using the mitre slide thingy with a a larger timber backiing screwed onto it and I want to cut the ends of timber square but each time I pass it through it is not square. Sometimes I turn the wood over and pass it through again and it seems a lot more square.
What is wrong - how do I fix? Mike
have a look at:
Anyway...
1 Try gluing some sandpaper on the sliding miter table arm. It will hold =the wood steady.
2 The Miter tables sits a bit high of the cutting area -- to reduce=20 friction -- so do not tilt the wood into the saw.3 Make sure there is no slop in the miter table when you wiggle it, If=20 there is -- follow the procedure for tightening up the table -- be=20 gentle the eccentric does not require significant pressure -- just that=20 everything is firm and still slides freely.
Slow steady pressure on the cut. Exert downward pressure on the niter tab= le.
If it is a long 2X4 an extension table is nice (and an out feed...) --=20 see my web site and look at the shop.
