Hello all
I am sure this is a really stupid question but here goes. If I set the fences like the manual says I get an inside gap on the last join.Therefore I need to move the left fence towards me to get 45 degree cuts. Does that mean I need to physically bend the moulding to make it slightly concave i.e corespond to the slighly concave fences?
Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Yes

Short and sweet

Thanks

When your left fence is set correctly to give x4 snug corners, then it may not be dead flush with the right fence. When you make you final cut i.e. in the last notch, make sure you pull both sides of the moulding flush up against both fences. For wide mouldings you may not be able to pull the moulding flush against the fences during the first couple of chops but you will for the last couple.

Hope that makes sense, if not just follow advice in the previous post

Lol, i thought i summed it up nicely, oh well it's back to charm school for me then
