USING THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE

WARNING: WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE, MAKE SURE IT IS PROPERLY SET UP AS DESCRIBED HERE.

The fence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross cutting a number of pieces to the same length. IMPORTANT: When using the fence as a cut-off gage, it is very important that the rear end of the fence be positioned so the work piece is clear of the fence before it enters the blade. When using the fence as a cut-off gage, position the fence (A) to the front as shown in Fig. 84, or purchase a 12" long fence (B), as shown in Fig. 85. A typical operation using the 12" long fence (B) as a cut- off gage is shown in Fig. 86.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON THE UNIFENCE

It is necessary when performing special operations such as when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood facing (A) Fig. 87, to one side of the rip fence as shown. The wood facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes you drill in the fence. A suitable stock size for most work is 3/4", although an occasional job may require one inch facing.
