Step 10: Set the blade height and make the cut.
Follow the same process in Step #5 to set the height of the blade so that the stock is half the height of the valley, or gullet, between the teeth of the blade. Stand to the outside of the blade, with one foot slightly in front of the other and in a stable position. Securely hold the stock against the fence of the miter gauge, and use the gauge to gently push the stock through the saw.
Use one hand to hold the stock firm to the gauge and the other to push the gauge.
