Ripping Checklist
Refer to the following checklist before
making rip kerfs or ripping. It will
remind you of things to do to make your
cutting safer.
Ripping Hints
1. To extend the life of the table top,
make an additional top out of v4"
plywood. Clamp or nail to original table
top, section by section. If you use nails,
nail in four comers where blade cannot
contact nails.
2. Keep table clean of chips and sawdust.
3. Use sharp blades.
4. Use the right blade for each job.
5. For workpiece with one smooth and
one rough surface, cut with rough sur-
face up so pawls will grab better.
6. To keep cut line accurate, peri-
odically check blade alignment.
7. If you must cut an irregular
workpiece, attach a straight edge. See
Cutting Aides.
