HELP 10 inch mitre saw

[heyimgood]

Does anyone know why my 10 inch master craft mitre saw wont cut
through a 4 inch baseboard. I can get almost through all the way but
except 1/8 inch and that ruins the cut.

Its a Mastercraft. Is there a trick or setting to get it to cut
deeper? I am able to get a cut when I tilt it but the 45 degree angle
must be out. Best you mitre straigt up and down.

Would I need a 12 inch mitre saw? Who has a deal on them? Just need
it to make a few cuts and its a shame to buy 1 and it will be sitting
in the corner when im done.

Don't put your 2x4 right against the straight edge at the back of the
cutting surface. Put a straight piece of scrap 2x4 there and then put the
piece you want to cut against that. You are simply not getting the blade to
it's deepest point when you are back against the straight edge.

Hi, If it's the outside edge you'll need to put a piece of 1x6 under the
baseboard. the other trick will work for the inside edge. I used the 1x6
trick before I got my sliding mitre saw.

tried all these options and what can you expect from a Mastercraft CT
pos. I am using a hack saw and utility knife to get the rest of the
cut. It seems pretty close but not perfect. Good thing you can fill
the white mdf

you need to lower your blade cut depth, check your manual
