Rip Cutting - Grizzly G0623X Owner's Manual

Rip Cutting

This saw has the capability of rip cutting large
panels (see Figure 72). The sliding table removes
the burden of sliding a large and heavy panel over
a stationary table surface.
Figure 72. Rip cutting with typical sliding table.
This saw also has the capability of rip cutting
smaller boards, using the machine as a traditional
table saw (see Figure 73). Smaller, lighter boards
are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron
table surface to the right of the saw blade.

Determine which cutting operation will be best
suited for the workpiece to be ripped.
• To use the sliding table, read the instructions
titled "Rip Cutting w/Sliding Table."
• To use the machine as a traditional table saw,
skip ahead to "Rip Cutting w/Rip Fence."
Rip Cutting with Sliding Table
1. Install crosscut fence on crosscut table, and
rotate it until fence touches 90° stop bolt
(Figure 74).
Figure 74. Place crosscut fence against 90° stop
bolt.
2.
Check to make sure fence is at 90˚ and, if
necessary, adjust it as described in Squaring
Crosscut Fence to Blade on Page 75.
3.
Slide fence so plastic block on end is next to
blade teeth—this calibrates scale to zero—
then tighten lock knob.
Note: Avoid cutting the plastic block on the
end of the fence.
4. Set flip stop to desired width-of-cut.
5. Position blade guard to correct height for your
workpiece.
6. Load workpiece onto table saw. Set up
should look similar to Figure 72.
7.
Take all necessary safety precautions, then
perform cutting operation.
