When I cut cuts who's quality matter, 90, 45, or whatever.. after I make the cut, BEFORE I raise the blade, I slide my good piece a tiny bit to left to clear the upgoing blade.
(My good piece is always to my left)
If I do not slide away from up going blade, sometimes cut end gets imperfect.. like hills and valleys.... Not terrible, but worse than if I slid away.
If I use endstops like if I want to make duplicate pieces to same accurate length, I cannot do that... UNLESS I have a helper pull a spacer between my board end and the stop before I lift blade.
Ya, I know about flipstops that flip easy, but still don't know if guys flip them during every cut.
And can't reach them if more than 2' away anyway.
Maybe one could set up some Rube Goldberg pulley system I suppose.
What do you guys do ?
With a good blade, and a solid miter saw, does your finished end cut suffer if you do not slide it away, or do you leave it in place.. NOT sliding before upcut?
Edit - AND like Steve said below -.. is blade turning or stopped when you raise the arm?
Thank you, Marc
