this saw has the capability of rip cutting large
panels (
figure 72). the sliding table removes the
burden of sliding a large and heavy panel over a
stationary table surface.
this saw also has the capability of rip cutting
smaller boards, using the machine as a traditional
table saw (
figure 73). smaller, lighter boards
are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron
table surface to the right of the saw blade.

rip cutting with sliding table
1. install the crosscut fence on the crosscut
table, and rotate it until the fence touches the
90° stop bolt (
figure 74).
2. Check to make sure the fence is at 90˚ and, if
necessary, adjust it as described in squaring
crosscut fence to blade on page 70.
3. slide the fence so the plastic block on the end
is next to the blade teeth—this calibrates the
scale to zero—then tighten the lock knob.
note: Avoid cutting the plastic block on the
end of the fence.
4. set a flip stop to the desired width-of-cut.
5. position the blade guard to the correct height
for your workpiece.
6. load the workpiece onto the table saw. the
set up should look similar to figure 72.
7. take all the necessary safety precautions,
then perform the cutting operation.
