Resawing Operations
The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when
resawing. If the motor starts to bog down, slow
down your feed rate. Motor overloading and blade
wear can be reduced by using a ripping blade.
Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust
quickly.
Components Needed for Resawing:
Zero-Clearance Insert ........................................1
Ripping Blade 10" ...............................................1
Clamps ...............................................................2
Shop-Made Auxiliary Fence ...............................1
Shop-Made Resaw Barrier .................................1
You may experience kickback during this
procedure. Stand to the side of the blade
and wear safety glasses and a full face
shield to prevent injury when resawing.
To perform resawing operations:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove standard table insert and blade
guard assembly.
3.
Install a ripping blade, install riving knife,
lower blade below table surface, then install
zero-clearance table insert.
4.
Attach auxiliary fence and set it to desired
width.
Note: When determining correct width,
don't forget to account for blade kerf and
inaccuracy of fence scale while auxiliary
fence is installed.

5. Place workpiece against auxiliary fence and
slide resaw barrier against workpiece, as
shown in Figure 75. Now clamp resaw bar-
rier to top of table saw at both ends.

6. Lower blade completely below table-top, and
slide workpiece over blade to make sure it
moves smoothly and fits between resaw bar-
rier and fence.
7. Raise blade approximately 1", or close to half
the height of workpiece, whichever is less.
Always use push sticks or push paddles to
increase safety and control during opera-
tions which require that the blade guard
and spreader must be removed from the
saw. ALWAYS replace blade guard after
resawing is complete.
