Miter cuts are made just like crosscuts. Measure, mark, and position the mark on the same side of the kerf as the section of the workpiece that you want to keep. Once assembled you’ll need to set the depth of your saw to just barely grazing the MDF baseplate and then run through with a kerf cut. Go too deep and you’ll cut your new Crosscut Station in half. Don’t do that. Kreg Crosscut Use & Thoughts The Crosscut Station is even compact enough to make it a portable cutting solution when you need accurate crosscuts and angle cuts on the go. Features• Crosscut up to 12" wide (305mm) and make a variety of miter cuts from 0° to 45° At this price point, quality of assembly and ability to adapt to most circular saws, the Kreg Tool Crosscut Station is a low cost, high reward buy that will easily help you on your next project.
Measure and mark your cut: Use a measuring tape to determine the length of the cut you need to make on the plywood. Then, use a pencil and straightedge to mark the cut line on the plywood. Make sure your marks are clear and precise.

The design of the station is somewhat restrictive when making miter cuts. As the size of the angle increases, the width of the board that can fit into the station decreases. What is the Maximum Width for a 45-degree Miter Cut? The Crosscut Station is a great option for DIYers who have a miter saw, but their miter saw is mounted to a workbench. The Crosscut Station is portable so it works well for doing projects in the yard or to help with a project at a buddy’s house. Compound miter saws are fairly inexpensive, but their maximum cutting capacity is about 5-6 inches. Sliding miter saws have a larger cutting capacity but they also come with a larger price tag. This means we’ll likely want to upgrade the blade in our circular saw before using it to make cuts with the crosscut station.
I’ve read quite a few comments on social media that were critical of the Crosscut Station. Comments like:Make the cut: Position the plywood on a stable surface, and make sure it is properly supported. Turn on the saw and align the blade with your cut line. Then, slowly and steadily guide the saw along the cut line, applying consistent pressure. Keep your hands well clear of the saw blade, and make sure you are wearing appropriate safety gear, like eye protection and gloves. The Kreg Crosscut Station turns a circular saw into a tool that makes accurate crosscuts and miter cuts. It’s easy to use, but is it right for everyone? Kreg Crosscut Station The Rip-Cut simplifies breaking down sheet goods as it rides along the edge of the sheet to ensure straight, accurate, and repeatable cuts. There's no need to measure and mark layout lines thanks to the edge-guided design. This guide allows you to rip continuous lengths of plywood up to 24" wide. The Universal Sled accepts left- and right-hand saws and is also compatible with the Kreg Accu-Cut and Accu-Cut XL. The Crosscut Station has a 12-inch cutting capacity. So it’s a great option if you already have a compound miter saw but it’s not in your budget to upgrade to a sliding miter saw. Extra Saw The Crosscut Station is a great option for DIYers with a small workshop or those without a dedicated workshop. Like do-it-yourselfers who live in an apartment.
The Crosscut Station is also great if you aren’t very confident with using larger saws like a miter saw or table saw. Morgan doesn’t love using the huge 12″ miter saw we have and feels much more confident using the Crosscut Station to make small cuts. How do I use the Kreg Tool Crosscut Station? Sometimes you may need to cut the board to the final length before making the miter cut. One of those times is if you need to remove a lot of material ahead of the miter cut. When the fence is set for 45 degrees, the maximum width of the board that can be cut is a 1×4 or 3-½”. This is good to know if you regularly need to make 45-degree cuts on boards wider than 1×4s. When cutting plywood, the good side — the one you want showing when you’re finished — should be facing down. I also had a slight issue with the initial setup of the guide rails for my circular saw. I made them too tight, so the saw didn’t slide smoothly. It just took a little figuring out to get it right. How to I assemble the Kreg Tool Crosscut Station?
