Saw Operations
Special Cuts
Cutting bowed material and round material are
only two examples of special cuts.
Cutting Bowed Material
If workpiece is bowed or warped,
clamp it with the outside bowed
face toward the fence. Always make certain that
there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and
table along the line of cut. Bent or warped work-
pieces can twist or rock and may cause binding on
the spinning saw blade while cutting (Figure 41).

Cutting Round or Irregularly
Shaped Material
For round material such as dowel
rods or tubing, always use a
clamp or a fixture designed to clamp the workpiece
firmly against the fence and table. Rods have a
tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade
to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the
blade (Figure 42).
