USING AUXILIARY WOOD

FACING ON RIP FENCE

It is necessary when performing special

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

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

wood facing is attached to the fence with wood screws

(B), countersunk and assembled through the holes

provided in the fence. 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.

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD

Fig. 95, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed

of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in

contact with the fence and table and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so that

the leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed.

Use featherboar

ds for all non “thru-sawing” operations where the guard and spreader assembly must be

removed (see Fig. 96). Always replace the guard and spreader assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is

completed.
