Figure 69. auxiliary fence. -48- 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.
Page 51
ALWAyS replace the blade guard after resawing is complete. plug in the table saw, turn it ON, and use a push stick or push block to feed the workpiece through the blade, using a slow and steady feed rate.
We recommend using a bandsaw for making fingers in the next step because it tends to be safer. A table saw can be used, but it will over-cut the underside of the ends, produce a thicker kerf, and require you to stop the blade half-way through the cut, which can be dangerous.
