Accessory Construction for Alternative Operation Methods
Narrow Rip Auxiliary Fence (Fig. AA–CC)
The narrow rip auxiliary fence should be used for a rip measuring 2" (51 mm) or narrower. This
fence will allow the guard to remain on the saw when completing narrow ripping. This fence will
provide ample space for proper use of a push block (

2. After the narrow rip auxiliary fence is constructed, slip it over the saw table top and place it
flush to the fence as shown in Figure CC.
3. Feed the workpiece through until the edge of the material reaches the front edge of the saw
table top.
4. Continue feeding the material using the push block

Featherboard Construction (Fig. DD, EE)
Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, and help prevent
kickbacks. Dimensions for making a typical featherboard are shown in Figure DD. Make
the featherboard from a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Clamp the
featherboard to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboard will support the
workpiece until the cut is complete (Fig. EE). An 8" (203 mm) high flat board can be clamped to
the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8" (203 mm) high board.

WARNING: Use featherboards for all non thru-sawing operations where the blade guard
assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife cannot be used. Always replace the
blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife when the non thru-
sawing operation is complete. Make sure the featherboard presses only on the portion of
the workpiece in front of the blade.
