Auxiliary Fence

The auxiliary fence is necessary if you are resawing a workpiece that is taller than it is wide. It should be no less than 1⁄2" shorter than the board to be resawn.

Components Needed for the Auxiliary Fence:

Wood* 3⁄4" x (Height) x Length of Fence

1

*Only use furniture-grade plywood, kiln dried hardwood, or HDPE plastic to prevent warping.

Tools Needed for the Auxiliary Fence:

Table Saw

1

Jointer and Planer

Recommended

Clamps

2 Minimum

To build the auxiliary fence:

1.Cut the auxiliary fence board to size. If you are using hardwood, cut the board oversize, then joint and plane the board to the correct size to make sure the board is square and flat.

2.Unthread the fence face mounting hardware and remove the fence face from the fence assembly.

3.Place the auxiliary fence next to the fence face you removed in Step 1, mark the location of the nine mounting holes on the auxiliary fence, then drill the holes.

4.Use the mounting hardware that had previously attached the fence face to attach the auxiliary fence. The end result should be similar to Figure 69.

Resawing Operations

The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when resawing. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate. Motor overloading and blade wear can be reduced by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly.

Components Needed for Resawing:

 

Zero-clearance Insert

1

Ripping Blade 10"

1

Clamps

2

Shop Made Auxiliary Fence

1

Shop Made Resaw Barrier

1

You may experience kickback during this procedure. Stand to the side of the blade and wear a full face shield to prevent injury when resawing.

To perform resawing operations:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the standard table insert and the blade guard assembly.

3.Install a ripping blade, install the riving knife, lower the blade below the table, then install the optional Model T20916 zero clearance table insert.

4.Attach the auxiliary fence and set it to the desired width.

Note: When figuring out the correct width, don't forget to account for blade kerf and the inaccuracy of the fence scale while the auxiliary fence is installed.

5.Place the workpiece against the auxiliary fence and slide the resaw barrier against the workpiece, as shown in Figure 70. Now clamp the resaw barrier to the top of the table saw at both ends.
