Necessary previous knowledge

Measuring and marking

Sequence of operations	Comments
1. Position material, switch on machine.
2. Undertake first cross-cut using sliding table.	Sliding table should be easily movable, check angle accuracy of 90°.
3. Mark linear measure at other end of board or at the length setting position of the sliding table.	Mark linear measure using try square and pencil.
4. Undertake second cross-cut at other end of board.	Ensure dimensional accuracy, minimal feed to avoid fraying.
5. Control dimensional accuracy of length.	Undertake dimensional inspection using folding rule.
6. Switch off the machine.	Ensure a tidy workplace, remove chippings to prevent accidents.

Completion

Mill the broad and narrow faces, insert slotted frame connections, glue connections and grind frames for yielding complete, usable frames.
