Tip: Attach a piece of 3Ú4" thick hardwood to the blade side of the fence as shown in Figure 29. This will keep thin materials from wedging between the fence and table and will also protect the fence from coming in contact with the blade when dadoing or ripping thin stock. Remember to flip and adjust the mea- surement scale on the rail to compensate for the thickness of the sacrificial fence.
