32 Crosscutting Defi ned 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.
33 Crosscutting Crosscut Kerf s 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.
34 Cr osscutting Making Crosscut s F ollow these s teps to mak e crosscu ts. 1. Prepare tab le: - put f en ce in fr ont position - tight en tabl e clamps 2.
35 Crosscutting Repetitive Cr osscutting Repetitiv e crosscut ting 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.
36 Ripping 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.
37 Ripping W orkpiece Pos itioning Alwa ys set up so that the wider part of the w o rkpi ece is between the blade and fence. This giv es y ou gr eater clear ance f or push stic ks, and allo ws better st ability f or f eeding the workpiece.
38 Outfe ed Zone Hazar d D ANGER Rotational f orce of b lade can pull hands and finger s back into blade. T ouching, h olding, or pulli ng on out- feed side of work piece while b lade is still spinni ng will result in fingers, hand or arm being cut off.
39 T o reduce risk of kic kbac k: [ Set pa wls and riving knif e accor ding to rip- 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.
40 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 .
41 Ripping Ripping Set-up Procedure F ollo w these steps befo re r ipping. These s teps must b e repeated eac h time a diff erent t hic kness w orkpi ece is ripped. A kerf m ust be made f or each differe nt width cut. Also see the speci al not es for be vel set-up t hat fol low t his section.
42 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.
43 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.
44 Ripping Dado Blades, Molding Heads See Accessories f or inf ormation on saf et y , installati on and use of dado blade s and molding heads . Edging Edging is the use of a dado b lade or molding head in the horizont al position. It is an adva nced technique that re quires a molding head guard and a special fe nce.

As y ou learn new r adial arm saw w oodworking t ech- niques, you’ ll see that man y types of cuts need diff erent support and feeding de vic es , kno wn as jigs or f ixtures .
46 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 earlier to the base as shown.
47 Cutting Ai des Clamp the f eathe rboard t o 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 .
48 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 n ut. Remov e old p awls . 2. Install ne w pa wls . Place spacer s e xactly as shown.
