control the amount of material that is removed in each pass. Front-to-back
position of the left (out-of-feed) fence is set to support the workpiece as it
leaves the cutter. Side-to-side position should be adjusted so that each fence
is just clear of the bit path (this will provide maximum support for the
workpiece). Adjust as follows:
