RIP CUTS
Rip cuts are easy to do with a straight edge
guide (Fig. 14). Straight edge guide is available
as an accessory (optional attachment). To
attach, insert straight edge guide, insert fence
through slots in foot to desired width as shown
and secure with the set screw.
RIP BOARD GUIDE
When rip cutting large sheets, the straight
edge guide may not allow the desired width of
cut. Clamp or nail a straight piece of 1" (25
mm) lumber to the sheet as a guide (Fig. 15).
Use the right side of the foot against the board
guide.

2”x4” CUTTING GUIDE
The Dremel SM20 and the 2”x4” Cutting
Guide (Optional Attachment) can be used to
quickly and accurately make cuts in 2”x4”
lumber. Since the depth of cut is less than the
thickness of a 2”x4” one cut on each side of
the wood will be required to complete a cut
through the work piece.
1. Measure and mark the desired cut line on
the piece of wood.
2. Slide the 2”x4” Cutting Guide over the wood
in the designated location of the cut.
Note: When using the standard wheel
measure a 1” offset to properly align the guide
to the offset indicator in the cutting guide.
While using the flush cut wheel, line the fence
of the tool up with the cut line.
3. Clamp the cutting guide to the work piece in
the desired location to make the cut.
4. Firmly hold the tool and use the edge of the
guide as a fence and make the first cut,
(Fig. 16)
5. Flip the work piece over while leaving the
cutting guide clamped in place and make a
second cut to complete the cut through the
2”x4”.
