Resawing Operation

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 Table Insert	1
Ripping Blade 10"	1
Clamps	2
Shop Made Auxiliary Fence	1
Shop Made Resaw Barrier	1
To perform resawing operations, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the standard table insert and the blade guard assembly.

3.Install a ripping blade, install the riving knife, lower the blade below the table, then install a zero clearance table insert.

4.Attach the auxiliary fence and set it to the desired width from the blade.

Note: When setting the correct width, don't forget to account for blade kerf and the inaccuracy of the fence scale while the auxiliary fence is installed.

5.Place the workpiece against the auxiliary fence and slide the resaw barrier against the workpiece, as shown in Figure 61. Now clamp the resaw barrier to the top of the table saw at both ends.

6.Lower the blade completely below the table, slide the workpiece over the blade to make sure it moves smoothly and fits between the resaw barrier and fence, then remove the workpiece.

7.Raise the blade approximately an inch, or close to half the height of the workpiece, whichever is less.

The risk of kickback when resawing is high. Always stand to the side of the cutting path and wear a full face shield to prevent kickback injuries when resawing.
