RIPPING

Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 53).

NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry

and flat. The rip fence (A) is used to position and guide

the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip

fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table.

Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have

a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.

THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE

USED. ON DELTA SAWS, THE GUARD HAS ANTI-

KICKBACK FINGERS TO PREVENT KICKBACK AND

A SPLITTER TO PREVENT THE WOOD KERF FROM

CLOSING AND BINDING THE BLADE. BE SURE TO

REPLACE OR SHARPEN THE ANTI-KICKBACK

DEVICES WHEN THE POINTS BECOME DULL.

A RIP FENCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE

USED FOR RIPPING OPERATIONS. NEVER

PERFORM A RIPPING OPERATION FREE-HAND.

USING THE UNIFENCE AS A

CUT-OFF GAGE

WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE SAW

GUIDE® AS A CUT-OFF GAGE, MAKE

SURE IT IS PROPERLY SET UP AS

DESCRIBED HERE.

The Unifence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross

cutting a number of pieces to the same length.

When using the Unifence as a cut-off

gage, it is very important that the rear end of the fence be

positioned so the work piece is clear of the fence before

it enters the blade. When using the fence as a cut-off

gage, position the fence (A) to the front as shown in Fig.

52A, or purchase a 12" long fence (B), as shown in Fig.

52B. A typical operation using the 12" long fence (B) as

a cut-off gage is shown in Fig. 52C.
