RIP CUTS
(Optional attachment)
Rip cuts are easy to do with a straight edge
guide (Fig. 17). Straight edge guide is available
as an accessory. To attach, insert straight edge
guide, insert fence through slots in foot to
desired width as shown and secure with the set
screw.
RIP BOARD GUIDE
When rip cutting large sheets, the straight
edge guide may not allow the desired width of
cut. Clamp or nail a straight piece of 1" (25
mm) lumber to the sheet as a guide (Fig. 18).
Use the left side of the foot against the board
guide.
MODEL SM842 2 x 4 CUTTING GUIDE
(Optional Accessory)
The Dremel SM20 and the 2x4 Cutting Guide
can be used to quickly and accurately make
cuts in 2 x 4 lumber. Since the depth of cut is
less than the thickness of a 2 x 4 one cut on
each side of the wood will be required to
complete a cut through the work piece.
1. Measure and mark the desired cut line on
the piece of wood.
2. Slide the 2 x 4 Cutting Guide over the wood
in the designated location of the cut.
Note: When using the standard wheel
measure a 1" offset to properly align the guide
to the offset indicator in the cutting guide.
While using the flush cut wheel, line the fence
of the tool up with the cut line.
3. Clamp the cutting guide to the work piece in
the desired location to make the cut.
4. Firmly hold the tool and use the edge of the
guide as a fence and make the first cut,
