WORKPIECE SUPPORT

Long pieces need extra supports. The supports should be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does
not sag and the hand holding the workpiece is positioned 4" or more from the blade path. The support should
let the workpiece lay flat on the base and worktable during the cutting operation (Fig.31).
