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
Think of this snowflake as having 2 "layers". (a top and a bottom) The top layer consists of 3 shorter stakes, and the bottom layer consists of 3 longer ones. (Picture them stacked on top of each other and joined through the center like bicycle spokes) Before you begin, put all your stakes aside, except three. (These 3 stakes you begin with are going to make up the main "arms" of your snowflake after step 2.)
Step 2
Clamp and cut three 48 in. stakes using the Saw-Max equipped with the SM600 wheel along with a Miter Guide. You want to have three longer pieces, and three shorter ones after you cut (so don't cut them exactly in half). I chose to stack them and make one cut at 28 inches. That gave me three 28 inch strips (my bottom "layer"), and three 20 inch strips (my top "layer").
