Bevel cuts may be made with the optional angle base. The 

angle base provides bevel angles up to 48° to the left and 

to the right. It can also function on both inside and outside 

corners for edge registration.

To adjust the bevel angle, rotate the adjustment knob on 

the rear of the angle base. Rotating the knob clockwise 

raises the bevel feet. Rotating the knob counterclockwise 

lowers the bevel feet.

For setting the approximate angle, the angle base includes 

a built-in angle indicator that shows the angle between the 

base and the blade.

The best way of setting the bevel angle is to set the angle 

between the left and right bevel feet. The angle between the 

bevel feet will be twice the bevel angle.

  Hint: A digital angle finder is ideal for this operation.   

In the example below, the angle finder was reset to 

zero when the two arms were pointing in opposite 

directions (180°). The reading on the display (45°) is 

twice the actual bevel angle (22.5°).
