How do I Change the Blade Angle on a Makita Mitre Saw?
Makita miter saws reduce the time involved in cutting wood to length. Cutting trim work or making compound miter cuts on wood requires you to change the angle of the saw blade. Correctly adjusting and locking the blade angle to the proper degree increases the consistency of your miter cuts. A proper miter cut will fit tightly into a corner or against another mitered piece of wood. Does this Spark an idea?
