When ripping long boards, use a support at the
front of the table, such as a roller stand, and a
support or "tailman" at the rear as shown in
Figure 33.
Have the blade extend about 1/8" above the top
of the workpiece. Exposing the blade above this
point can be hazardous.
Figure 33
Crosscutting
Crosscutting is where the
workpiece
(A, Fig. 34)
is fed cross grain into the saw blade using the
miter gauge
(B, Fig. 34) to support and position
the workpiece.
To improve the effectiveness of the miter gauge
in crosscutting, mount an auxiliary
wooden
extension face
(C, Fig, 34) with a glued-on strip
of
sandpaper
(D, Fig. 34) to the miter gauge.
Figure 34
Crosscutting should
never
be done freehand nor
should the fence be used as an end stop unless
an auxiliary block is clamped to the front of the
blade area such that the cutoff piece comes free
of the block before cutting starts (Figure 35).
Figure 35
Length stops should not be used on the free end
of the workpiece in the cutoff area.
Do not crosscut workpieces shorter than 6".
Before starting a cut, be sure the miter gauge is
securely clamped at the desired angle. Hold the
workpiece firmly against the table and back
against the miter gauge. Always use the saw
guard and splitter and make sure the splitter is
properly aligned.
For 90 degree crosscutting, most operators
prefer to use the left-hand miter gauge slot.
When using it in this position, hold the workpiece
against the gauge with the left hand and use the
right hand to advance the workpiece. When
using the right hand slot for miter and compound
crosscutting so that the blade tilts away from the
gauge, the hand positions are reversed.
When using the miter gauge, the workpiece
must be held firmly and advanced smoothly at a
slow rate. If the workpiece is not held firmly, it
can vibrate causing it to bind on the blade and
dull the saw teeth.
Provide
auxiliary support
for any workpiece
extending beyond the table top with a tendency
to sag and lift up off the table.
Have the blade extend about 1/8" above the top
of the workpiece. Exposing the blade above this
point can be hazardous.
