Making a Rip Cut
A rip cut is to cut a workpiece lengthwise. When working with materials with directional wood grains, this
typically means cutting along the grain.
1. Whenever possible, use the blade guard for
making a through cut. Only use the riving
knife for non-through cuts.
NOTE: A non-through cut only cuts a slot on
the bottom side of a workpiece which makes
it impossible to feed through the splitter.
Therefore, it is only possible to use the riving
knife to prevent kickback.
2. Adjust the fence to set the width of cut. A rip
cut must be performed with the fence.
3. Adjust the blade so it protrudes 1/4” or less
above the workpiece.
4. Rehearse the cut mentally to plan for the
stance and hand placement throughout the
entire cut. Prepare to use push stick(s) if
feeding a workpiece gets the hands close to
the saw blade. The hands should be at least
6” away from the saw blade.
When cutting a big workpiece, make sure it
is supported throughout the entire cut and
there is enough room to clear the workpiece.
5. When making a narrow cut or cutting smaller
workpieces, using additional support such as
featherboards can help stabilize the
workpiece and prevent kickbacks.
Mount the feather board on the miter slot.
Adjust the featherboard so that all fingers of
the featherboard are pushing against the
edge of the workpiece and the workpiece is
firmly pushed against the fence.
Quality featherboards can be purchased at
local woodworking supplies stores.
WARNING
The featherboard must be securely
mounted in front of the saw blade.
Failure to do so can cause the workpiece
to bind with the saw blade and kick back
accidents, which can result in serious
injuries or death.
