Cutting Aides

Making the Handle:

•Miter crosscut a piece of 3/4" thick ply- wood to the shape and size shown. The mitered corners can be any size that looks like the drawing (about 1-1/2" by 1-1/2").

Putting it together:

•Using good quality wood working glue, glue the 2-1/2" strip saved earlier to the base as shown. Important: Do not use nails or screws. This is to prevent dulling of the saw blade in the event you cut in to the push block.

•Position the handle at the edge of the ply- wood base as shown. Fasten them together with glue and wood screws. Important: Make sure the screw heads do not stick out from the bottom of the base. The bottom must be flat and smooth enough to slide along the auxiliary fence you are now ready to make.

Auxiliary Fence:

Making the base:

•Start with a piece of 3/8" thick plywood at least 5-1/2" wide and at least 30" long.

•Cut the piece to 5-1/2" wide and 30" long.

Making the side pieces:

•Using 3/4" plywood at least 30" long, rip- out one piece 2-1/4" wide and one piece 3-5/8" wide.

•Separately, crosscut both pieces to 30" long.

Putting it together:

•Glue and then fasten with screws the side pieces to the base as shown. Make sure the edge of the base and the face of the side piece are parallel as indicated in the note next to the drawing. Important: Make sure the screw or nail heads do not stick out from the bottom of the base. The bot- tom must be flat and smooth enough to rest on the saw table without rocking.
