Book Description

For an inside preview of using the pages of Compound Miter the bevel and miter answer book visit the Author's Website at; http://www.compound-miter.com/ Throughout my career as a master craftsman within the field of carpentry, I've seen time and time again craftsmen having some difficulties figuring out the bevel and miter saw settings to a compound miter cut. Basically each of these times the corner's angles were not at a common true ninety degree angle, and or the spring angle required was outside the 52°/38° and 45°/45° standard setting known for crown moldings. I took it upon myself to research all areas to see what was available for craftsman throughout this valuable time costing situation. (books, articles, tools, internet, etc.) Personally I've been mathematically blessed, inclined to use either written formulas or series of calculators to come up with the bevel and miter answers needed per cut. For those who wanted something else for all the cuts outside crown moldings, besides the formulas, I could not believe what was out there in the market place for that craftsman. The idea of Compound Miter the bevel and miter answer book started with my desire to place within the hands of any craftsman in the field of woodworking wanting all the answers needed to accomplish every compound miter cut. Based upon three hundred and sixty inside and outside corner angles in increments of one degree (the complete 360°), each of these corner angles are categorized within ninety spring angles also in increments of one degree. (the complete 90°) Taking into consideration every need for cutting compound miters the book is complete with all the answers. The basic formula throughout the book is inside corner or outside corner with spring angle equals the miter and bevel angle settings. (I.C. or O.C. w/ S.A = B.A and M.A.) Easy to read, chart formats throughout, the book places per each page an inside corner angle and the opposite outside corner angle within three hundred and sixty degrees. Then the page is broken into nine rows of three with ten columns per each row. Each of these columns contains a spring angles, with the answer to the bevel and miter saw settings below. The simplicity of this book is to look up the corner angle in degrees needed, search the numerical ordered columns to find the spring angle being used, and look at the bevel and miter saw settings below. All pages throughout Compound Miter the bevel and miter answer book have Quick Tabs for locating either inside or outside corners, fractions, and roof pitches by page flipping besides the table of content. Along with the answers to bevel and miter saw settings, the book also contains chapters to find any input value needed throughout using the formula also in easy to read formatted charts. That's all the answers to finding any corner angle or spring angle using the method of measuring. Continuing through the book there's material working charts for either a single bevel miter saw or a double bevel miter saw. Yet at the same time the book wasn't designed around a specific piece of equipment such as a compound miter saw, it is designed around any piece of equipment that would accomplish the bevel and miter angles to complete any compound miter cut. Each of the material working charts are in six easy steps from handling the material, setting the direction of the bevel and miter angles, to making the cut, and which piece to save. These material working charts are also divided into two categories, first category is cutting crown moldings, and the second category is cutting compound miters. The difference between the two categories is ability to identify the top or bottom of the material. If a craftsman needs to keep tract of the top or bottom, marking the edges of the material, (such as flat stock) the material is placed into the category cutting compound miters. When a compound miter saw is being used, instead of placing the top or bottom edge against the fen
