Narrow-Rip.Auxiliary.
Fence.&.Push.Block
There are designs for hundreds of specialty jigs that can
be found in books, trade magazines, and on the internet.
These types of jigs can greatly improve the safety and
consistency of cuts. They are particularly useful during
production runs when dozens or hundreds of the same
type of cut need to be made. The narrow-rip auxiliary
fence and push block system shown in this section is an
example of a specialty jig that can be made to increase
the safety of very narrow rip cuts.

long as your table saw fence; cut a piece of
thick hardwood 3" wide and as long as your table
saw fence, as shown in Figure.87.
Note: We recommend cutting the hardwood board
oversize, then jointing and planing it to the correct
size to make sure the board is square and flat. Only
use furniture-grade plywood or kiln dried hardwood
to prevent warping.
2. Pre-drill and countersink eight pilot holes
from bottom of 3" wide board, then secure boards
together with (8) #8 x 1
in Figure.88.
3. Using
