Cutting Aides
Cutting aides include push sticks, fences,
auxiliary fences, push blocks, feather-
boards, and straight edges.
Push SUcks
To make a push stick, use 3/4" knot-free
lumber, or a standard lx2. Cut to dimensions
shown (inches).
Fences
Fences are required for all saw operations.
To make a fence, use 3/4" knot-free l_mber
cut to table length. Do not use particle board
or other composite materials because they
are not strong enough. Note: Installed fence
must be at least half as high as the work-
piece, and never less than3/4". The fence
can be as high or higher than the workpiece.

Auxiliary Fence and Push Block for
Ripping
An auxiliary fence must be used when mak-
ing very narrow rip cuts that don't allow
enough room for a push stick without bring-
ing it too close to the blade. An attxiliary
fence must always be used with a push
block
To make an auxiliary fence, use one piece of
3/8" plywood and two pieces of 3/4" ply-
wood. Cut to dimensions shown (inches).
Glue pieces together, and reinforce with
nails.
To make a push block, use one piece of 3/4"
plywood and one piece of 3/8" plywood. Cut
to dimensions shown (inches). Glue pieces
together and reinforce with nails.
Lay the push block on top of the auxiliary
fence to make sure their widths match exact-
ly, and are each 4-3/4".
