Abstract
A system and a method of using the system for reproducibly cutting a cove using a table saw are presented. The system comprises a first fence assembly and a fixturing means, where the fence assembly is rotatably affixed to the fixturing means, wherein the fixturing means can be releasably secured to the table of the table saw. The method comprises providing a blank molding, a table saw having a table and saw blade, and the cove system and releasably affixing the cove system to the table. The method further comprises setting a fence angle using the first fence assembly and setting a fence depth by adjusting the position of the fixturing means with respect to the table. The method finally comprises feeding the blank molding over the saw blade thereby cutting a cove in the blank molding.
