Questions & Answers for Mastercraft Maximum Mastercraft Maximum Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Mitre Saw

Question

how do you lock the bevel position?

It appears that the lock lever on the front should do something, but it doesn't. The manual refers to a bevel lock knob and yet there is none. There is a lock pin that locks it at zero but still allows bevel in one direction. Nothing locks the bevel.

I kinda of the same "issue". There's a nut on the back of the saw that's screwed on to the threaded rod that's attached to the "bevel lock knob". What I had to do was to adjust that nut until I was happy with the tightness when locked down and the looseness when unlocked. Too loose and it won't lock down and it'll also fall over too easily. Hope this helps, manual could be a lot clearer on this issue.

I'll try explain it. The gray clip in front of the table arm is the clip to un-lock the bevel. The way it works is there is a bolt in the back that this clip that is attach too. If your clip is up you pull on the clip towards you and push it down what it did it move this clip around the bolt. Then if you pull it up it will loosen the bolt. If you do it again pull the clip towards you and push it down it move the clip again around the bolt again. Then pull up it has loosen the bolt again. It will eventually loosen it up enough so you can set it up to lock and un-lock the bevel by just push on the clip up or down.

OK. figured it out. Just turn the unit over and follow the black rod back from the bevel lock lever to the back of the saw. The rod actually has a socket on the end of it that fits over a nut. If you pull the lock lever forward, it disengages the socket from the nut. You can then turn the nut to adjust it so that one push down on the lever will tighten the bevel lock.

I believe it may be the screwdriver that's attached the handle at the back of the saw (the handle is attached to the back of the sliding arm of the saw).

Yes, that is normal. The manual in fact states to give the saw time to get up to speed before cutting. This saw is a belt drive rather than direct drive which adds a little more spinning mass. The 12" saw has the same 15 amp motor so this is plenty strong for a 10".

That is an Allen Key and a screw driver.

Do you use that to take of the guard to be able to get a standard wrench in to take off the blade?

I have never seen a compound mitersaw sold in Canada with the correct marking for canadian crown molding. Canadian crown molding is made to go up at a 45 degree angel the us uses a 33 degree angel.

Best solution go to Dewalts web site and download the instructions for cutting crownmolding it gives all the angels for canadian and us. no matter what angle the room corner it will give you the saw settings. Gives pictures too

pages 15 and 16 of the manual. First make sure that when you swing the saw from bevelled left to centre that you hit the zero degree lock pin firmly; if you do you can not pull it out. If the saw is not square to the table then there's a locking screw that can be screwed in or out to set the zero point. I'm guessing that it must be moving a conical profiled rod in/out or a cam that interferes with the zero stop.
