3.Pull an end cap off of the standard fence, then remove four hex nuts, flat washers, hex bolts and one side of the fence facing from the fence body.
4.Thread the flat head screws through the auxiliary fence and into the hex nuts in the standard fence body, and tighten securely as shown in Figure 56.

Resawing Operations
The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when resawing. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate. Motor overloading and blade wear can be reduced by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly.
Components Needed for Resawing: |
|
Zero Clearance Insert | 1 |
Ripping Blade 12" | 1 |
Clamps | 2 |
Shop Made Auxiliary Fence | 1 |
Shop Made Resaw Barrier | 1 |
You may experience kickback during this procedure. Stand to the side of the blade and wear a full face shield to prevent injury when resawing.
To perform resawing operations:
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.Remove the standard table insert and the blade guard/splitter, and install the riving knife. Install a ripping blade and a zero clear- ance table insert. Then lower the blade below the table surface.
3.Attach the auxiliary fence to the standard fence and set it to the desired width.
Note: Account for blade kerf, the rough cut made by the blade, and the inaccuracy of the fence scale when the auxiliary fence is installed when figuring out the correct width.
4.Place the workpiece against the fence and slide the resaw barrier against the workpiece. Now clamp the resaw barrier to the top of the table saw (see Figure 57).
5.Slide the workpiece over the blade to make sure it moves smoothly.
6.Raise the blade approximately an inch, or close to half the height of the workpiece (Figure 57), whichever is less.
The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kick- back by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious per- sonal injury.
