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:
Ripping Blade 14" ...............................................1
Clamps ...............................................................2
Shop-Made Resaw Barrier .................................1
You may experience kickback during this
procedure. Stand to the side of the blade
path and wear safety glasses and a full face
shield to reduce risk of injury.

1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Raise blade guard up and out of the way.
3.
Install rip fence in vertical position.
4.
Place workpiece against rip fence and
slide resaw barrier against workpiece (see
