Rip Cutting - Grizzly G0853 Owner's Manual

Rip Cutting

The Model G0853 has the capability of rip cutting
large panels (see Figure 130). The sliding table
removes the burden of sliding a large and heavy
panel over a stationary table surface.
The edge shoe (see Figure 130) is used to
stabilize the front end of a workpiece when
otherwise unsecured.

This saw also has the capability of rip cutting
smaller boards, using the machine as a traditional
table saw (see Figure 131). Smaller, lighter boards
are easier to slide across the stationary cast-iron
table surface to the right of the saw blade.
