Freehand shaping is shaping without the aid of the
miter slot or fence. The most dangerous part of shaping
freehand is beginning the cut, when the cutter first
contacts the workpiece. Often the workpiece will tend to
jerk or kick back, catching the operator off-guard.
To reduce kickback and maintain workpiece control when
freehand shaping, always use a starting pin (see
Figure.
48
)
.
or starting block (see
Figure.50.
on
.Page.36
). The
pin/block allows you to maintain workpiece control by
anchoring and slowly pivoting the workpiece into the
cutter as the cut is started (see
Figure.49
).
