Rough Cutting A Dado

By using the depth adjustment knob it is possible to

rough cut a dado as shown. After the two outside cuts

have been completed the inside material (represented

by slanted lines) is removed with a chisel.

1. Set the depth of cut by loosening the stop knob on the

depth adjustment bolt. Do not change the position of

the two (2) jam nuts on the end of the bolt.

2. Turn the depth adjustment bolt to the correct setting.

3. Tighten the stop knob,

5. Use a wood chisel to remove the material between the

outside grooves.

the beginning or end of the cut(s) may have to be

removed with a chisel.

Tips for Cutting Compound Miters on Picture Frames

and Boxes

A compound miter is a cut usually requiring .both a miter

setting and bevel setting. A compound miter is used for

making frames or boxes that have sloping sides and are

wide at one end and narrow at the opposite end. Com-

pound miters are "tricky" to make because the miter set-

ling and bevel setting are directly related to each other.

Every time the miter setting is changed the bevel setting

must also be adjusted; likewise every adjustment to

bevel requires a corresponding adjustment to miter.

Because it may take several tries to obtain the desired

angle, it is advisable to make test cuts on a scrap piece

of material,

Tips for Cutting Moldings

ing. Molding is sometimes difficult because in order to fit

correctly it must be precisely cut.
