Ripping Defined

Ripping is changing the width of a workpiece by cutting along its length. The workpiece is fed into the blade, which rotates in a fixed position, parallel to the fence and a set dis- tance from the fence. A solid fence (no kerfs) serves as a guide for the workpiece. Place the fence in the front position for narrower workpieces, or in the rear position for wider ones.

In-Rip and Out-Rip Positions

In-rip and out-rip refer to blade position.

In-rip:the blade is toward the column, and the motor is toward the table front. In-rip is recommended because this position allows better visibility of the workpiece and your hands. Use in-rip when you set the blade 1/2 to 16" from the fence.

Out-rip:the blade is toward the table front, and the motor is toward the column. Use out-rip only when you set the blade 16" or more from the fence.

Infeed and Outfeed Directions

Infeed and outfeed refer to sides of the blade.

Infeed: the side of the blade where the guard hold down is. Always start a rip cut at the infeed side and push the workpiece through to the outfeed side.

Outfeed Side

Outfeed: the side of the blade where the pawls and riving knife are. Never start a rip cut at the outfeed side. This is wrong way feed. Never put hands on the outfeed side of the blade when ripping because they can be pulled back into the spinning blade.
