inch ... it will be necessary to remove the blade guard ...
and use an AUXI LIARY FENCE which you can make.
Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or WARPED material.

attach a strip of wood 1-5/8 inches thick x 2-1/2 inches
wide. (See figure 62.)
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE
EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without
BIN DI NG between the two fences. (See figure 63.)
