CUTTINGAIDS

See Figure 22.

Push sticks are devices that may be used for pushing a workpiece through the blade in any rip cut. When mak- ing non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick, push block, and/or featherboard so your hands do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade. They can be made in various sizes and shapes from scrap wood and used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaping for a grip on the other end.

A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws from the underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts and all non-through cuts.

CAUTION: Be sure the screws in a push block are recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workpiece.

AUXILIARY FENCE

An auxiliary fence is a device used to close the gap be- tween the rip fence and the saw table. Always make and use and auxiliary fence when ripping material 1/8 in. or thinner.

HOW TO MAKE AND ATTACH AN AUXILIARY FENCE (FOR RIP CUTTING THIN WORKPIECE) See Figure 23.

Rip fence holes are used to secure an auxiliary fence which requires a piece of wood 3/4 in. thick, 3-1/2 in. wide, and 21 in. long to make.

To attach the auxiliary fence to the rip fence:

[] Place the wood against the rip fence and resting firmly on the saw table.

[] From the back side of the rip fence, secure the wood to the fence using 1-3/4 in. wood screws.

HOW TO MAKE A JIG (FOR RIP CUTTING NARROW WORKPIECE)

See Figure 24.

If ripping a narrow workpiece places the hands too close to the blade, it will be necessary to make and use a jig.

To make a jig:

[] Attach a handle to a long, straight piece of wood and secure from the underside using recessed screws.

[] Cut an L-shaped stop in the side of the jig.

To use a jig:

[] Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the jig and against the stop.

[] Holding the jig handle and using a push block and/or

push stick, make the rip cut as described on page 31 later in this section.
