In this book:
The author demonstrates a method for making a box with mitered corners on all six sides. He cuts six pieces to size with the blade set to 90-degrees. Then, he sets the blade to 45-degrees, installs a sacrificial fence and moves the fence right up to the blade. Now he cuts a 45-degree bevel on all four sizes of each piece.
I would think this would trap the cut-off between the blade and the fence, which I thought was a no-no. But on the other hand, the top of the blade is touching the fence and preventing the piece from lifting up. All it can do is shoot out the front, I would think at a low velocity. But I don't know for sure.
You kinda have to be careful w/ these books. He didn't say in his introduction how many fingers he still has or whether he had any professional training. He could be a ya-hoo that was lucky enough to get his book published.
