| A miter saw will crosscut long stock, cut picture frame molding, fit crown molding and quickly cut multiple boards to the same length. They are fast and cut angles with repeatable accuracy. The miter saw has replaced the radial arm saw in many woodworking shops today.
The diameter of the blade determines the size of the saw, 8", 10", 12" and 14" models are readily available.
Compound Miter Saw
A compound miter saw can be adjusted to cut angles both vertically and horizontally. Most 10" saws will crosscut 5 1/2" wide material.

Sliding Compound Miter Saw
The sliding models allow for a greater width of board to be cut. Most 10" saws will crosscut 12" wide material. An added feature on some models is dual bevel capability allowing the blade to tilt left and right.

Miter Saw
This is the one we ve all been waiting for - order yours today!
With unprecedented cutting capacity, a compact and lightweight design,
remarkable dust collection capability, and a seemingly endless list of
premium features, the Kapex is the most advanced sliding compound miter
saw on the market today. It weighs only 47 lbs. and features a unique rail-
forward design, allowing for easy transportation and operation right up
against a wall. But don t let its small footprint fool you - it has the cutting
capacity to effortlessly cut trim molding almost 4-3/4" tall and hardwoods
more than 3" thick. The saw blade bevels 47° to either side and the
rotary base turns 50° to the left and 60° to the right, while the
convenient quick-release clamp, easy-to-read scales and a fine-inclination
angle-adjustment feature make setting angles a breeze. A dual-laser
marking system outlines the width of the kerf for precise cut placement. An
included angle transfer device eliminates complex calculations by copying the
angle directly from the wall to the saw - plus, it stows neatly in the base.
Superior electronics, variable speed capability, meticulous dust collection; the
impressive list of features goes on and on. Includes the saw, base and a
high-quality 10" carbide blade.

To extend the length of a fixed miter saw cut lay a 1 1/2" thick board on the base under the material to be cut, this will extend the cut on a Delta compound saw by 1". |
Up to 24" material can be cut using a sliding model. Make the cut as far as possible (aprox.12"), then unplug the saw. Turn the board over so kerf is facing you, bring blade back and position it in the kerf, clamp material to base, return blade to normal position, plug in the saw and make the second cut.
Check For Recalls
- Use only cross-cutting blades with a negative hook angle.
- Keep hands out of path of blade.
- Allow motor to come up to full speed before starting cut.
- Make sure all clamp handles are tight, even if table is positioned in a stop.
- Use proper size blade and type.
- Never apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
- Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately.
- Never reach around or behind saw blade.
- Make sure blade is not contacting work piece before switch is turned on.
- After completing cut release power switch and wait for blade to stop before returning saw to raised position.
- Do not remove jammed or cut-off pieces before blade has stopped.
- Properly support long pieces.
- Unplug machine before changing blade or making adjustments or repairs.
