4 Crosscut Sled FENCE The miter gauge of your table saw^^ works well for crosscutting most workpieces. But when you need to crosscut a large panel, you'll want to use a crosscut sled, like the one shown in the drawing at left The base of the sled is made from Y plywood. It provides a large surface to cam the workpiece through the blade. A 3 -tall hardwood fence along the hack edge holds the work-piece square to the blade during the cut The -ence is sized so you can use the sane stop block built for the auxiliary miter fence on page 43. To a'r.N : • ? give you straight and accurate cuts the sled is guided along tht table by two hardwood runners. One runner is sized to slide smooth!;. ;n the miter gauge slot in the table. And the other runner rides aga;-**- the extension wing of your table sa\% or a >him, as shown in detail 'a' at left 5 Auxiliary Rip Fence NOTE: ALL PACTA^ ARE V PLrWOOO^^ A rip fence Is essential for cutting workpieces to width accurately and safely. But to get more versatility from your table saw, you 11 want to add an auxiliary rip fence. The fence you see in the photo at right is sized to slip easily over the standard rip fence on your table saw. This way, it can be easily removed. But it's so handy, you might not be taking it off very often. The fence has a short face on one side and a tall face on the other. This allows it to do double duty. When you want to use your dado blade to cut a rabbet, you can bury the blade in the short face, like you see in detail 'a' at right. Then when you need extra support for making a cut involving larger panels or standing taller stock on end, all you need to do is flip the fence around. The tall fence provides enough solid support for you to work safely. NOTE: size to frr rip fence CAP IN PLACE CROSS SECTION 03 x IV Fh WOOD-SCREW 44 ShopNotes No. 1)2 |
