It says: "cut up to 6-1/2-inch base molding against the fence". Does that include a cut it at 45 degrees for making a mitered corner?

Yes , it will cut trim for outside corners with the trim held vertical against the fence. here are the rest of the spec. Vertical Capacity: Baseboard Against Fence 6-1/2" Vertical Capacity: Crown Molding Vertically Nested 5-1/4" Horizontal Capacity: Baseboard Lying Flat 8" Horizontal Capacity: Crown Molding Lying Flat 6-1/2" 45 Bevel Cut Capacity (dimensional lumber) 2x8 90 Cross-Cut Capacity (dimensional lumber) 4x6" 90 Cross-Cut Capacity (Max Width) 2x8 45 Miter Cut Capacity (Max Height) 4x4 dimensional lumber 45 Miter Cut Capacity (Max Width) 2x6 dimensional lumber

I am no expert and I ran into this problem. It cut all the way expect 1/4 of an inch of my basebaord when held vertically against the fence. And with the single bevel just makes it even harder to get it right. I had to use a coping saw to cut the rest of the mdf baseboard. Does anyone have any tips for me?

You don't need a miter box to use this saw unless you are cutting precise angles. I don't even think it has enough blade clearance to use a miter box. Also remember, this hacksaw was designed to cut metal not wood.

Yes, correct! If you want to make a 90° turn, cut 2@ 45°, etc. For a 45° turn, 2@ 22.5°.

Hi Cai - On angles yes, dunno about molding. Make sure you have the right blades. Why not a jig saw?
1635931
I would if it would be appropriate. The cut is very fine and the edges are smooth. However, this is a free hand saw and not a guided miter saw, so the angles are not precise.Woody

You need to reference two surfaces at 90 degrees to each other to conduct jointing activity. If you build a jig at a perfect 90 degrees, yes you could actually joint edges. However, I'm not sure this machine will hold up to those thick maple boards. Buy a good "glue-line" rip blade for your table saw. The blade will cost about as much as this machine.

The fact is the fence, (either 40"or 50") has to be attached to the table! Sears didn't make a table top out of granite that I'm aware of. Is it just your extensions that are granite? If you have a steel/cast table, the actual table with the miter guide cut parallel to the blade hole. You're probably ok! If you can bolt to that it should be sufficient to hold the fence> I would just replace the granite extensions with the ones suggested in the manual with the saw! Good luck! A picture of your saw would be helpful! Terry Thanks for the lesson Cheryl! Granite was used!

You will have to scribe the corner to cut. I have done this many times. Most directions have the information on how to do this. So the answer to your question is that it is not a problem, just an extra step.

As far as I am aware, there is no angle/corner, be it inside or outside that this tool will not read. Pay attention to the exact reading/degrees, set your miter saw accordingly, make your cuts and get perfect joints first time, always. This is a really useful tool.

Just at a guess, it's a thingy to hold crown molding upright so you can cut it at a 45deg angle instead of working out the compound angles.

Probably not as it cuts bevels up to 50 or 55(left and right), and on miter cuts you get 50 to the left and 60 to the right . It is a beautiful saw with little tweaks that you can make to it to customize it to your touch! They have put a lot of thought into all the details that come with this saw and it shows from the very 1st cut you make.

No. this is not a miter box saw. It has a stiffening bar on it as you can see. That stiffener will not fit in a miter box slot and you only have about 1.5 inches of depth of cut before you'd hit that stiffener bar. However, its a a good saw with many different uses (and it works very well for those uses) and I'm glad to have it. But its not a miter box saw.

It cuts right at twelve inches at 90 degrees. It will cut a 12" board at 45 degrees, but you have to flip the board over to finish the cut.

Most cuts on a miter saw are performed at specific angles: 90 degrees/22.5 degrees/etc. Almost all miter saws therefore have "detente" at these commonly used stops so it's easier to get to them quickly, i.e. 'indentations' in the angle tracking plate of the saw itself.

I was able to cut a 9 degree slot with no problem, though that isn't near as steep as 45. If you follow the directions, you should be good to go!

Miter cut like you would wood but you may need to file smooth. It is possible but order extra in case it chips with cutting. Some brands offer an outside corner or rounded corner piece that you could look for.

Hi Thomas, yes, this router bit will make 45 degree beveled edge. You don't need the bearing support if you use a fence on your router table.
