RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripping a piece of wood through
its thickness. NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood wider
than 3-9/16 in. ... it will be necessary to remove the blade
guard ... and use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT. (See "Work Helpers").
Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or WARPED material.
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE
EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without
BINDING between the two fences.
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table
because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly.
Place a small block or wood between the bottom edge of
the table and the "C" clamp.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ...
1. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING) WHILE
RESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A
KICKBACK.
Z INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF THE RESAWING OPERATION.
AUXILIARY FENCE/
RABBETING
Rabbeting is known as cutting out a section of the corner
of a piece of material.
To make a RABBET requires two cuts which do not go all
the way through the material. Therefore the blade guard
must be removed.
1. Remove blade guard.
Z Adjust rip fence and blade to required dimensions.
3. Make first cut through edge. Follow resawing
procedure.
4. Remove auxiliary fence and make second cut.
5. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION.
Rabbet cuts can also be made using the dado head or
molding head.
