In-ripping involves all of the general conditions stated under RIPPING. The yoke is clamped at right angle to the track arm with the blade guard facing the rear of the machine. The cuttinghead is positioned on the in-rip scale to the desired setting and clamped in position. The workpiece is fed from the right side of the saw. Fig. 66, shows a typical in-ripping operation on the radial saw. Note the push stick is being used due to the narrow workpiece.
