the tilt angle to the bevel scale. See Figure 23-50. The scale may not be accurate, so verify the angle with a T-bevel before proceeding. Straight bevels can be ripped freehand or with a fence or miter gauge. Feed workpieces for curved cuts as you would if the table was flat. See Figure 23-50B. Once you begin the cut, continue in one direction only. Otherwise you will cut a reverse bevel. Remem- ber, the kerf made on the other face differs from the cutting line you follow. Sawing Multiple Parts to Size Multiple parts can be cut to size in a single operation. Stack and fasten workpieces together with nails located away from the cutting line. See Figure 23-51. Make relief cuts on each side of the nails and elsewhere as needed. Saw along the Chuck Davis Cabinets Patrick A. Molzahn Figure 23-50. Beveling on the band saw.
