Making the handle:
• Miter crosscut a piece of 3/4 inch thick
plywood to shape and size shown:
NOTE: The mitered corners can be any
size that looks like the drawing (about 1-1/2"
by 1-1/2").
Putting it Together
• Using good quality woodworking glue,
glue the 3/8" x 3/8" x 2-1/2" piece strip
saved earlier to the base as shown.
IMPORTANT: Do not use nails or screws.
This is to prevent dulling of the sawblade
in the event you cut into the push block.
• Position the handle at the center of the
plywood base as shown. Fasten them
together with glue and wood screws.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the screw heads
do not stick out from the bottom of the
base, they must be flush or recessed. The
bottom must be flat and smooth enough
to slide along the auxiliary fence you are
now ready to make.
Auxiliary Fence
Making the base:
• Start with a piece of 3/8 inch plywood
at least 5-1/2 inches wide or wider and
25-1/2 inches long or longer.
• Cut the piece to shape and size shown:
Making the side:
• Start with a piece of 3/4 inch plywood at
least 3 inches wide or wider and 25-1/2
inches long or longer.
• Cut the piece to shape and size shown:
• Optional: Drill three (3) holes in plywood
side similar to rip fence wood facing (see
page 31). The plywood side may either be
mounted to the rip fence using these three
holes and appropriate nuts and bolts or
clamped to the fence with “C” clamps.
Putting it together:
• Put the pieces together, as shown:
IMPORTANT: Make sure the screw heads
do not stick out from the bottom of the
base, they must be flush or recessed. The
bottom must be flat and smooth enough
to rest on the saw table without rocking.
