Kapex KS120 Miter Saw 

Miter cuts are used when a board needs to be cut at an 

angle across its width. The most common application for a 

miter cut is for joining two boards to form a corner without 
endgrain showing. The miter angle is one-half of the 

corner angle. So for a 90° corner, for example, the miter 

angle is 45°.

For even the most experienced woodworkers, cutting 

accurate and tight fitting miters can be problematic. The 

following are some tips for making accurate miters. 

► 

Clamp the workpiece down. Because the sawblade is 
cutting at an angle with the workpiece edge and fence, it 

will tend to move the workpiece sideways, in the 

direction of the cut, as the cut progresses. This can 
result in a cut that is not straight, or the angle of the cut 

may be off. 

► 

Cut slowly. Cutting too rapidly can cause the sawblade to 
deflect as it encounters varying densities in the 

woodgrain. 

► 

Use a chop-cut only for narrow miters. When in doubt, 

use a push-cut. 

► 

When marking the length of the workpiece, use a sharp 

pencil to draw a thin line. The thicker the line, the more 

difficult it will be to cut accurately on the line. 

► 

When marking a workpiece length to match a wall or 

other structure, use a utility knife to mark the cut with a 

small nick. This is more accurate than a pencil line. 

 

► 

If a utility knife is used to mark the cut, you can use a 
method called “Sneaking up on the cut.” This is where 

you make an initial cut longer than needed, and 

continually make very small re-cuts until the cut line 
splits through the center of the nick you made with the 

utility knife. 

Bevel cuts are used when a board needs to be cut at 

an angle across its thickness. The most common 

application for a bevel cut is for constructing a box or 
similar structure. 

 

The following are tips for making accurate bevel cuts: 

► 

Clamp the workpiece down. If the workpiece is not 

held firmly, the blade will tend to pull the workpiece 
into the cut and up the blade. 

► 

For best results, use only a push-cut. 

► 

Take care not to deflect the saw head sideways. 
Because the saw head is tilted to the side, it can be 

easy to inadvertently push the saw head down or pull it up 

as you feed the saw into the cut. This will result in a crooked 

cut. 

► 

Place the workpiece on the saw with the best-side down. 

Because of the angle of the blade teeth exiting the workpiece 

on the top side of the cut, there will be slightly more tearout 
on the top, especially on the sharper edge.
