USING AUXILIARY WOOD

FACING ON RIP FENCE

It is necessary when performing special operations such

as when using the moulding cutterhead 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

wood screws 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.

At a slight charge, further information on the safe and

proper operation of table saws is available in the Delta

“Getting the Most Out of Your Table Saw” How-To Book,

Catalog No. 11-400. Additional information on table saw

safety is also available by writing to:

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD

Fig. 60 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. An 8″ high flat board can be

clamped to the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8″ high board. Use

featherboards for all non “thru-sawing” operations where the guard and splitter assembly must

be removed. Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non thru-sawing operation

is completed.

Kerf should be

about 1/4" apart.
