CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES (CONTINUED)
AUXILIARY MITER GAUGE
FACING
PUSH BLOCK
An auxiliary miter gauge facing is used to increase the
surface area of the miter gauge face.
If desired, you can fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary
wood facing that should be at least 1-inch (25mm)
higher than the maximum depth of cut, and at least as
wide as the miter gauge.
This auxiliary wood facing can be fastened to the
front of the miter gauge by using (2) M6 or 1/4-20 flat
head screws and nuts, placing the nuts into the slots
provided in the face of the miter gauge body.
See Figure 28.
Make sure the screws are long enough to secure the
facing.
Flat head must be recessed into face of
board.
1. Select a piece of wood about 4-inches wide,
6-inches long and 1- to 2-inches thick (a cutoff from
a 2 by 4 makes a good blank for a push block).
2. Drill a hole in the block and glue in a dowel to use
as a handle (you can angle the hole to provide a
more comfortable grip on the handle).
3. Glue a piece of rough or soft material such as
sandpaper or rubber to the bottom of the block to
grip the workpiece (old mouse pads work well).
See Figure 29.
