USING AUXILIARY WOODFACING ON

RIP FENCE

Wood facings (A) Fig. 53A are necessary on some special

operations to one or both sides of the rip fence. The wood

facing is attached to the fence with screws through the

holes in the fence. Most work will require a 3/4 " stock,

although an occasional job may require 1" facing.

1. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the

work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside

saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig. 54A). Various

combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut

grooves from 1/8″ to 13/16″ for use in shelving, making

joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily

swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion

falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig.

55. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 56, (A)

being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) a

paper washer or washers, used as needed to control the

exact width of groove. A 1/4″ groove is cut by using the

two outside saws. The teeth of the saws should be

positioned so that the raker on one saw is beside the

cutting teeth on the other saw.

THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER

ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING. IT

MUST BE REMOVED.
