Then raise the blade to the highest point of the cove as drawn on your stock. Set your miter gauge to the approach angle designated on the printout, and slide the front fence into place using the miter gauge. Be certain you set the fence so that the blade will be tilted toward the stock as it approaches. The cutting can proceed just as it does with symmetrical coving. This last category of coves is really a variation on the first two.
Partial coves are portions of symmetrical or asymmetrical coves.
One type of partial cove is cut with a fence that has a gap or cutout in the middle, like the fences on shapers and router tables. The gap allows you to set up the fence right over the blade, and moving the fence exposes more or less of the blade for cutting. Another type is cut with one edge of the stock elevated, riding on a stepped fence, as shown in the Photo D, below. A stepped fence raises one edge of the workpiece as Klausz cuts a partial cove in a piece of cherry. For all asymmetrical coves, partial or full, two fences are required, and the stock is fed into the acute side of the blade's tilt.
