Tino Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I just experimented with cutting at 4 degree tilt to the right on my saw. Some of my letters were raised and some came out recessed. Anybody know of a good tutorial with good explanations on how to do this on my saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Guy Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 You must go only one direction for all cuts to have it raised or recessed. You went clock wise and counter clock wise. To be sure the results will be what you want cut a trail run on scrape. I put little directional arrows on the pattern so I don't lose track.

bandaideman Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 As Al said it depends on whether you go clockwise or counter clockwise but also which way the table tilt is right or left. I can not think for certain where a tutorial may be try looking in this forum. I have to always look it up and I think making a test cut is a good Idea to see if the tilt, direction and degree is right for what you want as suggested before.

Scrolling Steve Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I have made this same error in the past....Discovered as Al said , have to be consistent , always in the same direction ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Cutting in the same direction will either raise or lower your lettering. Play with some scrap pieces and get a feel for it. I am sure a lot of us have been there especially myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angle cutting things is always on my mind but thats as far as it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Tino, your best bet would be to do some trial and error cutting on your own. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birchbark Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Keep whatever you want raised on the high side of the table. Inside cuts get confusing, but think of keeping the part you want raised on the high side of the table. Russell jerry1939 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Finn Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I do a lot of inlay work and it is similar to what you are doing. The whole clockwise couter clockwise thing comfuses me. I just remember to keep the image or letter to the right of my blade. That is, with the table tilted down on the left. Like has been mentioned. Trial and error will teach you a lot.
