GAUGEGROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight line
PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE. Therefore, t»th the
Miter Gauge Groove and the Rip Fence must be PAR­
ALLEL to the Sawbiade.
If the sawbiade iS NOT parallel to the Miter Gauge
Groove, the bldde wilt bind at one end of the cut. (This
is known as “HEELING”).
