8.Plug in the table saw, turn it ON, and use a push stick or push block to feed the workpiece through the blade, using a slow and steady feed rate.

9.Flip the workpiece end for end, keeping the same side against the fence, and run the workpiece through the blade again.

10.If necessary to complete the operation, repeat Steps 7–9until the blade is close to half of the height of the board to be resawn. The ideal completed resaw cut will leave an 1⁄8" connection when the resawing is complete, as shown in Figure 62. Leaving an 1⁄8" connection will reduce the risk of kickback.

11.Turn OFF the table saw, then separate the parts of the workpiece and hand plane the remaining ridge to remove it.

12.When finished resawing, remove the resaw barrier and auxiliary fence, then re-install the blade guard/ spreader or riving knife and standard table insert.

The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

Always use push sticks or push paddles to increase safety and control during operations which require that the blade guard and spreader must be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after resawing is complete.
