BCT 203 Finish Carpentry
IntroductionProject Board
Lay-outMiter saw degree check
Read Shop Safety doc.• Cut a scrap piece of scrap & check the
miter saw cut for square 90 degrees both vertical and horizontal.
• Adjust the tilt and degree setting if necessary.
• Check the saw before making finish cuts before each lab.
• Try to use the same miter saw to make your cuts for each project.
More Rules• Always wear safety glasses in the
shop!• Do not side tilt the miter saws in my
class!• Precise work requires exact saw
degree settings, sharp finish blade and good workmanship
Miter Saw & Blade Condition • The miter saw should cut mdf & moudlings with
little resistance.• If you need to force the cut, notify myself or
Peter that the blade may need replacement.• Hold your material firmly with your free hand in
a safe position• Always make cuts in a slow smooth motion.• Always cut you’re your mark to what appears to
be slightly long. 1/16” to 1/32”• You can always trim a board but stretching is
difficult.
Lab # 1• Cut a ¾” x 24”x 30” piece of particle
board on the panel saw• Use a framing square to lay-out the
project drawing shape.• Rip 4” wide scrap pieces of ¾” p.b or
mdf for the side walls.• Write your name legibly• Assembly sequence
Octagon Project Saw Check• Calculate the piece length and angle then
cut the pieces for the octagon frame. Assemble on the back side of your board.
• If all the joints close tight your miter saw degrees are adjusted correctly.
• Important! all the side pieces must be cut exactly the same length.
• I will show an easy method for doing this.
Miters are to be tight
