28 Cr osscutting Crosscutting Defined Crosscutti ng is cutting a wo r kpiece to leng th. The workpiece is held firmly against the f ence, and the blade is pull ed thro ugh the workpiece to mak e the cut. Straigh t, bev el, miter , and compound cuts can be made.
29 Crosscutting Cr osscut Ke rfs A ker f or shall ow cut i s needed in the tab le and f ence to ser v e as a path for the b lade and to ensure that the b lade cut s all the w a y through the w orkpiece. A kerf i s needed f or each diff erent cutting path.
30 Cr osscutting Maki ng Cr osscuts F ollow these s teps to mak e crosscu ts. 1. Prepare tab le: - put f ence in front posit ion - tight en tabl e clamps 2.
31 Crosscutting Repetitive Crosscutting Repetitiv e crosscutting is the repeated and continuo us cutting of many pi eces of lumber to the same length. Ca rriage and leng th stops can help mak e this type of crosscutti ng more eff icient. A carriage stop defines t he dist ance neede d to pull the b lade through to complete each cut.
32 Ripping Defined Ripping is changing the width of a workpiece b y cutting along its length. The workpiece i s f ed into the b lade, which rot at es in a fix ed position, par allel to the f ence and a set dis- tance from the f ence. A solid f ence (no ker fs) ser ves as a guide f or the w orkpiece.
33 W orkpiece P ositioning Alwa ys set up so that the wider part of the w o rkpi ece is between the blade and fence. This giv es you g reater cl earance f or push stic ks, and allo ws better stabilit y f or f eeding the workpiece.
34 Outfeed Zone Hazar d D ANGER Rotational f orce of b lade can pull hands and finger s back into blade. T ouc hing, holding, or pulling on out- feed side of work piece while b lade is still spinni ng will result in fingers, hand or arm being cut off.
35 Ripping T o reduce risk of kic kback: [ Set pa wls and riving knif e according t o r ip- ping set-up pr ocedure. Correctl y set riving knif e is more lik ely t o pre v ent workpie ce from binding or pinchi ng blade; correctly set p awls are more l ikely to grab into wor k- piece to stop or s low kic kbac k if one hap- pens.
36 Hold Down Function The hold do wn m ust be set correctly during ripping to act as barrier against the inf eed side of the b lade, to help keep the workpiece flat on the tab le, and to def lec t workpiece chips. It m ust be l ower ed to just clear the workpiece .
37 Ripping Set-up Pr ocedure F ollow these s teps bef ore ripping. These steps m ust be repeated eac h time a diff erent thic kne ss w orkpiece is ripped. A kerf must be made f or each differ ent width cut. Also see th e special notes for bevel set-up that f oll ow this sect ion.
38 Ripping 7. Remov e w ork piece from tab le . 8. Ready push stic k or push bloc k. 9. Set up tab l e ex tensi on(s) and suppor t their out er ends. Do not use another per- son to support w orkpieces because t his can cause kic kback and it exposes helper to pote ntial hazar ds at ou tfeed side.
39 2. Inser t yell ow k ey and turn saw on. 3. Stand at inf eed side and out of line of workpiece , in case of kic kbac k. Start and finish cut from i nfeed side.
40 Dado Blades, Molding Head s See Accessories f or inf or mation on safet y , installati on and use of dado blade s and molding heads .

41 Cutting Ai des Bef ore cutt ing an y wood on your sa w , study all of the Crosscut t ing and Ripping Instruc- tions f ound on pages 45 through 57. As y ou learn new r adial arm saw w oodworking t ech- niques, you’ ll see that many types of cuts need diff erent support and feeding de vices, kno wn as jigs or f ixtures .
42 Making the Handle: • Mi ter crosscut a piece of 3 /4" thic k ply- wood to the shape and siz e shown. The mitered corners can be an y size that looks lik e the dr awi ng (about 1-1/2" b y 1-1 /2"). Putting it together: • Usi ng good quality wood working glue , glue the 2-1/2" st r ip sa v ed ear lier to the base as shown.
43 Clamp the f eatherboard to th e front tab le, so that the angled edge of the f eatherboard is against the w orkpiece on the i nfe ed side of the b l ade. Do not cl amp the featherboar d agains t the cut of f part (out-feed si de) of the w orkpi ece .
44 Replacing P a wls Mak e sure th e teeth of the pa wls are alw a ys shar p . If the y become dull the pa wls must be replaced: 1. Use 7/16" wrench to remo ve he x nut. Remov e old p awls . 2. Install ne w pawls . Place s pacers e xactly as shown.
