To build the auxiliary fence:
1.
Cut the auxiliary fence board to size as speci-
fied above. If you are using hardwood, cut
the board oversize, then joint and plane the
board to the correct size to make sure the
board is square and flat.
Note: Only use furniture grade plywood or
kiln dried hardwood to prevent warping.
2. Unthread the fence face mounting screws,
then remove the fence face from the fence
assembly.
3. Place the auxiliary fence next to the fence
face you removed in Step 2, mark the loca-
tion of the six mounting holes on the auxiliary
fence, then drill and countersink the holes in
the auxiliary fence.

Resawing Operations
The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when
resawing. If the motor starts to bog down, slow
down your feed rate. Motor overloading and blade
wear can be reduced by using a ripping blade.
Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust
quickly.
Components Needed for Resawing:
Zero Clearance Insert .........................................1
Ripping Blade 10" ...............................................1
Clamps ...............................................................2
Shop Made Auxiliary Fence ...............................1
Shop Made Resaw Barrier .................................1
You may experience kickback during this
procedure. Stand to the side of the blade
and wear a full face shield to prevent injury
when resawing.
To perform resawing operations:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Remove the standard table insert and the
blade guard/spreader assembly.
