How Do You Cut Miter Slots?

The miter slots on a table saw are needed to make the precise cuts that hold the boards together during the sawing process. The slots need to be precisely cut so that the boards fit snugly in the slots, and can be easily moved along the saw blade.

The most common way to cut miter slots is with a miter saw. However, there are other ways to cut them as well.

If you are using a miter saw, the best way to cut your slots is to use a standard miter saw fence. You can set the fence so that it is at 90 degrees to the blade, and then use it to create your slots.

Make sure that you have accurate measurements of your slot width and length, and then make your cuts using a straightedge and a circular saw blade.

If you are not using a miter saw, you can also use a jigsaw or a hand saw to create your slots. Make sure that you have accurate measurements of your slot width and length, and then use a straightedge and a circular saw blade to make your cuts.

Be careful not to cut too deep into the wood, or you will end up with rough edges around your slot.
