OPERATIONS

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.

To perform resawing operations, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the standard table insert and the blade guard/splitter, and install the riving knife. Install a 12" ripping blade and a zero clearance 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 58).

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 58), which- ever is less.

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

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

9.Repeat Steps 6–8until 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 58. Leaving an 1⁄8" connection will reduce the risk of kickback.

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.

You may experience kickback during this procedure. Stand to the side of the blade and wear safety glasses or a face shield to prevent injury when resawing.

10.Turn OFF the table saw, then sepa- rate the parts of the workpiece and hand plane the remaining ridge.

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