Making the Facing Block
(Fig. 65)
Make the Facing Block 100 using 1" x 3"
(25.4 mm x 76.2 mm) pieces. Position the two
sections of the Facing Block 100 together, and
fasten them with glue and wood screws.
The total height of the Facing Block should
match the height of the Rip Fence.
For the proper use of the Facing Block 100, see
"Repetitive Crosscutting" on page 53.

Making Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing
(Fig. 66, Fig. 67)
When using dado accessories, an Auxiliary Fac-
ing 103 board should be used. This will help
prevent damage to the aluminum Rip Fence
9. The Auxiliary Facing 103 should be made of
3/4" (19 mm) thick wood. Fig. 66 provides di-
mensional plans to make an Auxiliary Facing 103
board to fit this saw.
The Auxiliary Facing 103 is made to the same
height, 2-5/8" (66.68 mm) as the Rip Fence 9
and can work with the Smart Guard System 11
in place when moving the Rip Fence 9 to contact
the Blade 32.
Auxiliary Facing 103 has to be clamped in two
places within 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) of its ends. Care
should be taken not to clamp over the Push
Stick, or damage the Push Stick mounts.

Making Tall Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing
(Fig. 68, Fig. 69)
When making non-through cuts, such as rabbet
cuts, it will be necessary to use a Tall Rip Fence
Auxiliary Facing 104 to properly support the
workpiece. This facing also allows for clamping
of accessories such as feather boards.
To create this work helper, first a backing board
in the size of the Auxiliary Facing 104 must
be made and two 3/8" holes, approximately
2" deep, need to be drilled in the edge of the
backing board. These holes should be located
approximately 4" form the ends of the backing
board as shown in Fig. 68. Finally, a 3/4" thick
board must be attached to the backing board us-
ing glue and 1-1/4" long wood screws. Height of
this additional board should match the needs of
the sawing operation being performed.
Universal Fence Clamps with clamp arm diam-
eter of 3/8" are needed to clamp the Tall Rip
Fence Auxiliary Facing 104 to the Rip Fence 9.
Be sure to clamp the universal clamps as shown
in Fig. 69.
