7.8.1. Bevel crosscutting

Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except the bevel

angle is set to an angle other than 0°.

Always use the miter slot which allows the blade to tilt away

from the miter gauge and your hands to avoid a binding action

between the saw blade and the table top.

When beveling with the miter gauge, the workpiece must be

held firmly to prevent creeping.

7.8.2. Compound Mitering

Compound mitering is a combination of bevel crosscutting and

mitering, where the blade is beveled to an angle other than 0°

and the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 0°.

Always use the miter slot which allows the blade to tilt away

from the miter gauge and your hands.

7.8.3. Bevel Ripping

Bevel ripping is the same as ripping except that the bevel angle

is set to an angle other than 0°.

Always use the miter slot which allows the blade to tilt away

from the miter gauge and your hands.

7.9. Dados & Rabbets

When the piece being cut is narrow enough to make it unstable at the table saw,

using a router and jig is often a safer and more effective choice.

Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the workpiece.

Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four

or five inside cutters (Figure 1). Various combinations of saws

and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8" to 13/16" for use

in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc.

When cutting a dado or rabbet at or near the edge of the

wood, a sacrificial face must be added to the fence to prevent

the cutter from accidentally contacting the fence. The sacrificial

fence also allows “burying” part of the dado stack to cut

narrow rabbets. The sacrificial fence is usually just a length of

3/4”-thick wood with a semicircular cutout for blade clearance clamped to the permanent fence.
