22 22 COMMON SA WING OPERA TIONS CROSS-CUTTING Cross-cutting r equires the use of the miter gage to position and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gage and advance both the gage and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 49. The miter gage may be used in either table slot.
23 Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a boar d. The rip fence (A) Fig. 50 is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board r ests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.
24 USING AUXILIAR Y WOODF ACING ON RIP FENCE W ood facings (A) Fig. 53A are necessary on some special operations to one or both sides of the rip fence. The wood facing is attached to the fence with screws thr ough the holes in the fence. Most work will requir e a 3/4 " stock, although an occasional job may requir e 1" facing.

26 26 CONSTRUCTING A FEA THERBOARD Fig. 59, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboar d is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboar ds are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table and help prevent kickbacks.
27 When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 61. PUSH STICK MAKE FROM 1/2” OR 3/4” WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MA T’L.
