USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING

Add a wood facing (A) Fig. 84 to one or both sides of the rip fence when you perform special operations (moulding cutterhead, etc.). Depending on the fence, attach the wood facing or the fence either with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence, or with two clamps. For most work, 3/4” stock is suitable, although an occasional job may require 1” facing.
