45 degree table saw cuts are curved,...
right angles don't tend to pull the wood into the blade 45s are much harder
this way. Also if you are off just a little it shows. If you can secure the wood to the mitre you should get better results. This will even happen on a mitre saw a little, if piece is clamped it will make a better cut. "all thumbs" wrote in message ... Hello, when I use the protractor thing in the track to guide a piece through the saw I first square the angle to the upright blade with a carpenters square. I can cut a fairly square 90 edge like this. When I rotate the saw blade 45 degrees to cut a 45 on edge, the last inch that goes through the blade is curved. The mitred corners are messed up as a result. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time and happy holidays. |
