Using the Auxiliary Fence and Push
Block
1.
Place the auxiliary fence on the table and
clamp it to the fence at both ends, then adjust
the distance between the auxiliary fence and
the blade—this determines how wide the
workpiece will be ripped (see Figure 94).

As the workpiece nears the end of the cut,
place the push block on the auxiliary fence
with the lip directly behind the workpiece,
then release the push stick just before the
blade.
6. Guide the workpiece the rest of the way
through the cut with the push block, as shown
in Figure 96.
