4.When ripping material with a veneer facing that extends over the material, the fence (A) should be in the horizontal position with the veneer (B) extending over the lip of the fence, (Fig. 127).
5.When ripping material with a veneer facing and the material is not thick enough for the veneer to extend over the lip of the fence, or if the veneer facing (B) is on both sides of the material, (Fig. 128), the fence can be positioned slightly above the surface of the table. The veneer can be placed between the fence and the table or the veneer can straddle the fence with the material solidly against the fence, as shown.
RIPPING ON LEFT
SIDE OF SAW BLADE
In some cases, it may be desirable to use the fence on the left side of the saw blade. This action is easily accomplished by repositioning the fence (A) Figs. 129 and 130, fence clamp bar (B), and lock knobs (C) so that the fence (A) will be attached to the right side of the fence body, (Fig. 130). The complete fence assembly (D) Fig. 130 can easily be moved to the left side of the saw table.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE
Some special operations (when using the moulding cutterhead) require the addition of a wood facing (A) Fig. 130A to one side of the rip fence. The wood facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence. Stock that is 3/4 inch is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require one- inch facing.
