stopped, unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal.

When ripping boards longer than three feet, it is

recommended that a work support be used at the rear of

the saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the saw

table.

If the ripped work is less than 4 inches

wide, a push stick should always be used to complete

the feed, as shown in Fig. 57. The push stick can easily

be made from scrap material as explained in the section

“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.” When ripping

material under 2 inches in width, a flat pushboard is a

valuable accessory since ordinary push sticks may

interfere with the blade guard. The flat pushboard can be

made as shown in Fig. 58.

RIP FENCE

It is necessary when performing special

operations such as moulding to add wood facing (A) Fig.

59, to one or both sides of the rip fence, as shown. The

wood facing is attached to the fence with two clamps (B).

3/4 inch stock is suitable for most work although an

occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

A wood facing should be used when ripping thin material

such as paneling to prevent the material from catching

between the bottom of the rip fence and the saw table

surface.

USING ACCESSORY

MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the

work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in

the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation. The

many different knife shapes available make it possible for

the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings,

such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames,

table edges, etc.

The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can

be mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown in

Fig. 61. Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a

groove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a

screw. The knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust,

which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.

FACING ON THE UNIFENCE

Fig. 60

It is necessary when performing special

operations such as when using the moulding cutterhead

to add wood facing (A) Fig. 60, to one side of the rip

fence as shown. The wood facing is attached to the

fence with wood screws through holes you drill in the

fence. A suitable stock size for most work is 3/4",

although an occasional job may require one inch facing.
