NON-THROUGH SAWING (FIG. 37)
Add an 8" high flat facing board to the rip fence,
the full length of the rip fence.
Use featherboards for all "Non-Through Sawing"
operations. Featherboards are used to keep the
workpiece in contact with the rip fence and the
table as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards to the rip fence and table
as shown, so that the leading edges of the
featherboards will support the workpiece until
the cut is complete, and the workpiece has been
pushed completely past the cutter (sawblade,
dado head, etc.) with a push stick, as in ripping.
Before starting the operation (with the saw
turned off and the cutter set below the table
surface):
a. Install featherboards so they exert pressure on
the work piece; be positive they are securely
attached.
b. Make sure, by trial, that the featherboards will
stop a kick back if one should occur.
RABBETING (FIG. 38)
Rabbeting is cutting out a section of the corner
of a piece of material, across an end or along
an edge.
Making a rabbet requires cuts that do not go
all the way through the material. Therefore, the
smart guard system must be removed.
a. Remove the smart guard system.
b. Attach the riving knife.
c. For rabbeting along an edge (long way
of workpiece) as shown, add a facing
approximately as high as the workpiece is
wide to the rip fence. Adjust the rip fence
and blade to the required dimensions, then
make the first cut with the board flat on the
table. Make a second cut with the workpiece
on its edge. Follow all precautions, safety
instructions, and operation instructions as
for ripping or rip type operations, including
featherboards and push stick, etc.
d. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece
10-1/2" and narrower make the rabbet cut with
the board flat on the table. Using the miter

Featherboards are not employed during non-
through sawing operations when using the miter
gauge.
Replace the smart guard system as soon as the
non-through sawing operation is complete.

gauge fitted with a facing, follow the same
procedures and instructions for crosscutting
making successive cuts across the width of
the workpiece to obtain the desired width of
cut. Do not use the rip fence for rabbeting
across the end.
e. Install the smart guard system immediately
upon completion of rabbeting operation.
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of
the workpiece over the cutter using the dado
head.
