H. Guide Arms. The guide arms are horizontally
Opposed for great rigidity. The outward arm is
Adjustable in and out allowing for close proximity
To the material when cutting different diameters.
By loosen the locking bolt knob the guide will
Slide in and out for the different size materials being
Cut. You always want the guides as close to the
Material as possible. NOTE: When moving this
Arm make sure the arm rail is seated into the way
Fully before tightening locking knob.
I. Throat Filler Plate. This filler plate is bolted to the
V groove in the vise. This filler plate takes up
Room in the V when straight cutting, allowing for
Cutting shorter lengths without the part falling
Under the blades path, and giving a larger support
Area. When miter cutting this filler plate can be
Unbolted and removed to allow cutting of miters
Without damaging the plate.
