Miter Saw Fundamentals

A miter saw is one of the most-used tools in the shop — and one of the easiest to use badly. Crooked cuts, gaps, tear-out, out-of-square assemblies, dangerous hand positions, inaccurate angles… most of it comes down to not actually understanding the tool. In this one-day intensive, we’ll cover everything from safety and setup to calibration, clean cut technique, compound cuts, blade changes, and the subtle habits that separate frustrating cuts from precise ones.
