Saw Operations

Special Cuts

Cutting bowed material and round material are only

two examples of special cuts.

Cutting Bowed Material

If workpiece is bowed or warped,

clamp it with the outside bowed face

toward the fence. Always make certain that there is

no gap between the workpiece, fence and table

along the line of cut. Bent or warped workpieces can

twist or rock and may cause binding on the spinning

saw blade while cutting (Figure 37).

Cutting Round or Irregularly

Shaped Material

For round material such as dowel

rods or tubing, always use a clamp

or a fixture designed to clamp the workpiece firmly

against the fence and table. Rods have a tendency to

roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and

pull the work with your hand into the blade

(Figure 38).
