Blade Drift Compensation:
Blade drift is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during
resawing.
Blade drift may occur when the fence is being used, the
blade begins to wander off the cutting line (Fig. 19).
.
Fig. 19
Blade drift can be caused by a number of factors.
- The saw blade follows the grain
- The saw blade is dull.
- Blade guides not adjusted correctly.
- Blade tension unsufficient.
- Blade-
teeth have asymmetric“set”
Auxiliary fence for rip fence:
For your own safety always set the upper saw guide as
close to the workpiece as possible.
For narrow shallow cuts on the rip fence a self-made
auxiliary fence (E, Fig. 20) made of cutable material ( e.g.
wood, plastic, aluminium) must be used.
Length same as rip fence.

Mitre gauge:
Place the mitre gauge in the table T-slot.
