USING WOOD FACING ON THE RiP FENCE (FIG. DD)
When performing some special cutting operations,
You can add a wood facing (1) 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) 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.
