Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

If you are adding a frame to a mirror you already own, your dimensions may be different. The cutlist and steps are dimensions for a frame to fit around a 15" by 21" mirror. To begin, crosscut your pine plank at 52" creating two pieces. The remaining should be 20". This cut is quick and easy with the Dremel Saw-Max equipped with an SM500 Wood and Plastic Wheel. With your plank clamped, cut along the marked line, following it at the notch at the front end of your tool. Be sure to sit the foot of the tool flush against the board for a quick, smooth cut.

Next, use your Saw-Max and SM500 wheel to complete a series of rip cuts: • Cut the 2.75" wide strips as shown in the cutlist: cut one strip from the 52"pine piece and two strips from the 20" plywood material • Cut a 1.5" wide strip from the 52" pine • Cut a 2" wide strip from the 52" pine
