When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER than 2" the Push Stick CANNOT be used because the guard will interfere … USE the AUXILIARY FENCE, and PUSH BLOCK.
Attach auxiliary fence 1 to rip fence with two “C” clamps (Fig. 45).
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is approx. 1" from the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the PUSH BLOCK 2 on top of auxiliary fence UNTIL THE CUT IS COM PLETE (Fig. 46).
Resawing
RESAWING is known as ripping a piece of wood through its thickness. The Skil model 3310 table saw is capable of re sawing wood up to 6" wide by making two passes, one through each thickness edge.
NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood wider than 3" it will be necessary to remove the blade guard … and use the AUX LIARYI FENCE (See “WORK HELPERS”).
Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or WARPED material.
Clamp the auxiliary fence 1 and the rip fence 3 to the table so that the workpiece 4 will SLIDE EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without BINDING between the two fences dur ngi the cut (Fig. 47).
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table be cause the “swivel” of the clamp will not grip properly. Place a small strip of wood between the bottom edge of the table and the “C” clamp.
For your own safety …
1.Do not “back up” (reverse feeding) while resawing be cause this could cause a kickback.
2.Install blade guard immediately upon completion of the resawing operation.
Making a Featherboard
Figure 48 illustrates dimensions for making a typical feather board. It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is free of knots or cracks.
Kerf 5 should be about 1/4" apart (fig. 48).
