Improved Miter Fixture
Oct 25, 2005
C.H. Dimmick’s miter fixture for the radial arm saw is very useful as described. But by leaving a 4-in. gap between the fence and the 45¡ guides, boards can be cut to length, then shifted to the 45¡ guides for mitering. Without the gap, the boards can be cut to length only by using another saw or by removing the jig.
