USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE
RIP FENCE (Fig. as)
When performing some special cutting
operations, you can add a wood facing
to either side of the rip fence (2).
1. Use a smooth straight 3/4 in. thick
wood board (1) that is as long as the
rip fence.
2. Attach the wood facing to the
fence with wood screws (3) (not
included) through the holes in the
fence. A wood fence should be used
when ripping material such as thin
paneling to prevent the material from
catching between the bottom of the
fence and the table.
