Crosscutting
Hints
1. To extend
the life of the table top,
make an additional
top out of v4"
plywood
or masonite.
Clamp or nail to
original
table top, section
by section.
If
you use nails, nail in the four corners
to
make sure the blade will not contact
the
nails.
2. Instead
of using one fence for all cut-
ring paths, make several
fences,
each
with only a few kerfs. (See Cutting
Aides--Fences.)
Too many kerfs in a
fence weaken
it.
3. When making miter or bevel cuts, use
extra force in holding the workpiece
down because it tends to move during
these types of cuts.
4. When cutting hard woods, like oak,
pull blade through more slowly.
5. Keep table clean of chips and sawdust.
6. Use the right blade for each job.
7. Use sharp blades.
8. To keep cut line accurate,
peri-
odically
check blade alignment
by fol-
lowing instructions
in Alignment
and
Adjustment
section.
9. Do not cut severly warped or crooked
workpieces.
10. For work_ieces with one smooth
and one rough surface, cut with smooth
surface down on table.
