Miter Saw Config

Tonight, Bob stopped over with Julie and helped us configure our new miter saw. We got a 12″ 60 tooth blade, which he showed us how to install. Unlike normal screws, the one used for the blade actually works in reverse. A regular screw, when rotating with the blade, would become more loose over time. So that’s why it’s reversed – in that if anything, it will become tighter, not looser.

There is a lot more than simply plugging in the saw and cutting. Bob also showed us the things we needed to do in order to ensure a straight cut – measuring a lot of things with a square. Here, Bob is showing us how to reset the guides.
