DEPTH STOPmlllustration #4

The DEPTH STOP prevents any possibility of the saw
striking the miter box and enables the operator to reg-
ulate the depth of any particular cut. To limit cutting

depth, raise front and rear depth stop to desired height. ILLUSTRATION#3

WORK CLAMP - Illustration #5

The "tru-cut" clamping system incorporates a fast

pivoting clamp that securely holds 4" x 4" pieces as
easily as 1/4" x 1/4". The multi-faced clamp will hold

irregular shaped moldings without marring. "Tru-
cut" clamping is similar to "C" clamps where the
force is directed toward itself with no pressure di-

rected unequally on a_y of your miter box parts,
which would cause distertion. Support brackets for

clamps are provided left and right of the saw ena-
bling clamping on either side, However thisclamp=
ing device will work independent of the support

brackets.
