OPERATIONS
SUPPORTING WORKPIECE
WARNING
!
IMPORTANT: When the workpiece (A) is long enough,
position it on the table with one end against the left side
of the column (B) to prevent the workpiece from rotat-
ing. If it is not possible to support the workpiece
against the column, clamp the workpiece to the table.
A vise can be used to secure a small workpiece that is
too small to be clamped to the table. The vise must be
secured to the table to keep it from rotating. If you are
using a backup board, it must also be properly support-
ed or clamped. SEE FIG. 27.
