11/10+) Resawing AWARNING Resawing operations require proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kickback when resawing. Any tilting or movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury. Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Although resawing can be done with a table saw, we strongly recommend that you use a bandsaw instead. A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and resawing with one is fairly easy and safe. A table saw is not intended for resawing, and resawing with one is difficult and dangerous due to the increased risk of kickback from binding and deep cuts, and the increased risk of injury from having to remove the guard. if you insist on resawing with a table saw, DO NOT do so without using a resaw barrier and wearing a full face shield. The following instructions describe how to build a resaw barrier and add an auxiliary fence to your standard fence, to reduce the risk injury from resawing on a table saw. Note: To determine the maximum resawing height for this table saw, find the maximum blade height, then double it and subtract Vs". Making Resaw Barrier The resaw barrier acts in tandem with the rip fence when resawing to provide tall support for the workpiece to minimize the probability of it binding against the blade and causing kickback. Tools Needed: Qty Table Saw..........................................................1 Jointer and Planer.......................Recommended Clamps...............................................2 Minimum Drill and Drill Bits................................................1 Components Needed for Resaw Barrier: Wood* 3/4" x 51/2" x Length of Fence...................1 Wood* %" x 3" x Length of Fence......................1 Wood Screws #8 x 2" ........................................4 Wood Glue.........................................As Needed * Only use furniture-grade plywood, kiln dried hardwood, or HDPE plastic to prevent warping. To build the resaw barrier: 1. Cut your wood pieces to the size specified above. if you are using hardwood, cut the pieces oversize, then joint and plane them to the correct size to make sure they are square and flat. 2. Pre-drill and countersink four holes approximately %" from the bottom of the 5V2" tall wood piece. 3. Glue the end of the 3" board, then clamp the boards at a 90° angle with the larger board in the vertical position, as shown in Figure 68, fasten together with the wood screws. #8 x 2" Wood Screw Assembled Resaw Barrier Figure 68. Resaw barrier. Model G0690/G0691 (Mfg. 11/10+) -47- Auxiliary Fence The auxiliary fence is necessary if you are resawing a workpiece that is taller than it is wide. it should be no less than V2" shorter than the board to be resawn. Components Needed for the Auxiliary Fence: Wood* 3/4" x (Height) x Length of Fence............1 * Only use furniture-grade plywood, kiln dried hardwood, or HDPE plastic to prevent warping. Tools Needed for the Auxiliary Fence: Table Saw..........................................................1 Jointer and Planer.......................Recommended Clamps ............................................... 2 Minimum To build the auxiliary fence: 1. Cut the auxiliary fence board to size. if you are using hardwood, cut the board oversize, then joint and plane the board to the correct size to make sure the board is square and flat. 2. Unthread the fence face mounting hardware and remove the fence face from the fence assembly. 3. Place the auxiliary fence next to the fence face you removed in Step 1, mark the location of the nine mounting holes on the auxiliary fence, then drill the holes. 4. Use the mounting hardware that had previously attached the fence face to attach the auxiliary fence. The end result should be similar to Figure 69. 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. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly. Components Needed for Resawing: Zero-clearance insert.........................................1 Ripping Blade 10"...............................................1 Clamps...............................................................2 Shop Made Auxiliary Fence...............................1 Shop Made Resaw Barrier.................................1 AWARNING You may experience kickback during this procedure. Stand to the side of the blade and wear a full face shield to prevent injury when resawing. To perform resawing operations: 1. DiSCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Remove the standard table insert and the blade guard assembly. 3. install a ripping blade, install the riving knife, lower the blade below the ...
