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
path and wear safety glasses or a face
shield to prevent injury.
To perform resawing operations:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Install rip fence in vertical position.
3.
Place workpiece against rip fence and slide
resaw barrier against workpiece. Now clamp
resaw barrier to top of the table saw (see
Figure 98).

4. Lower blade completely below table, and
slide workpiece over blade to make sure it
moves smoothly and fits between resaw bar-
rier and fence.

10. When finished resawing, remove resaw bar-
Raise blade approximately 1", or close to half
the height of workpiece, whichever is less.
Operations requiring the blade guard to
be removed increase the risk of accidental
contact with the blade. To reduce this risk,
use push sticks/paddles and featherboards
to keep your hands at a safe distance from
the blade throughout the entire cut. Always
replace guard after completing the cut!
Connect power to saw, turn it ON, and use
push stick to feed workpiece through cut
using a slow, steady feed rate.
Flip workpiece end for end, keeping same
side against fence, and cut other side of
workpiece.
Repeat Steps 4–6 until blade is close to half
of the height of the board to be resawn. The
ideal completed resaw cut will leave a
connection when resawing is complete as
shown in Figure 100. Leaving a
tion will reduce risk of kickback.
