Crosscutting
The Model G0588/G0591 can crosscut full size panels with the fence in the forward or rear posi- tion, although it is easier to load full size panels with the crosscut fence mounted in the forward position (see Figure 57).

Mounting the crosscut fence in the rear position (Figure 58) gives greater stability for crosscutting smaller panels.

Lastly, this machine has the capability of cross- cutting workpieces while using the rip fence as a cut-off gauge (Figure 59).

—If you will be crosscutting smaller panels, then skip ahead to “Crosscutting smaller panels.”
—If you will be crosscutting workpieces using the rip fence as a cut-off gauge, then skip ahead to “Crosscutting using the rip fence as a cut-off gauge.”
