▼ MAKING MITER GAUGE AUXIlIARY
FACING
A template for drilling holes in the miter
gauge is provided on page 142, which allows
you to attach an AUXILIARY FACING 5 to pro-
vide additional support to cut longer pieces.
Select a suitable piece of smooth straight
wood, drill two holes through it and attach it
with screws 6 (Fig. 44).
Example:
A. Drill 1/4" dia. holes thru miter gauge.
B. Drill 5/32" dia. holes thru (board 3/4"
thick, 3" high, and desired length).
C. Attach with two No. 12 round head
wood screws 1-1/2" long, 6, not in-
cluded (Fig. 44).
Be sure screws never protrude above outside
surface of facing.
▶ Using the push Stick and
push Block
When feeding the workpiece for a rip cut, use
your hands only when they can be kept at
least 6" from the blade (Fig. 45). A push stick
or push block should be used any time the
cut would cause your hands to be within 6"
of the blade (Fig. 46).
Apply the feed force to the section of the
work piece between the saw blade and the
rip fence. Your other hand should be used
only to guide the workpiece when it is at least
6" from the blade.
When using a push stick or push block, the
trailing end of the board must be square. A
push stick or block against an uneven end
could slip off or push the work away from the
fence.

Only use the push stick when the width of the
rip cut is greater than 2". When width of rip
is less than 2" the push stick cannot be used
because the guard will interfere.
Always position push stick and apply feed
force parallel to the saw blade. Ensure that
the push stick is positioned such that Sur-

to the right of the blade.
