Left or Right Miter Slot

Before beginning the panel assembly, you’ll want to rst determine on which side of the blade you want the miter
sled. Typically, if your blade tilts to the right, you’ll want the miter sled to the left of the blade (Left Miter Slot), Fig. 2.
If your blade tilts left, then you’ll want the sled on the right side of the blade (Right Miter Slot), Fig. 3.

Attach Panels to Utility Plate and Panel Connector

Place the Utility Plate in the miter slot selected for use. Orient the Utility Plate so that the small T-slot on the
plate is between the miter slot and your blade. The arrows on the Utility Plate Caution label MUST point toward
the blade. Open Hardware Pack C-13 and using the supplied #10-24 x 15/32” Phillips at head screws, attach the panels
to the Utility Plate and Panel Connector as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B. The large panel will mount to the Utility Plate
using the holes closest to the blade. The small panel with square corners mounts to the opposite edge of the Utility Plate.
Use the Panel Connector to join the small panel with rounded corners to the remaining edge of the small panel with
square corners.

BLADE ANGLE NOTE: If your primary use for the
Miter Express is mitering with the blade at 90º, make
sure the blade is set at 90º before continuing.
Raise your saw blade about ¾” and make a cut to remove
the portion of the large panel that extends across the line
of cut, Fig. 6. This cut off will be used for the drop panel
described in Step 6. Turn off the saw, lower the blade and
remove the Utility Plate assembly from the saw.
