Florida West Coast Woodworkers

October 2013 General Meeting Show and Tell

Members brought in their favorite items for show and tell.  Floyd Yoder brought in his favorite Dewalt miter saw and detailed how he customized the fence to cut molding.  Here are some photos of Floyd’s crowning achievement!

The angle cut on this custom made fence allows the saw to operate, which it could not if a straight side was used here.

Floyd cuts crown molding at the same angle in which the molding will be installed.
