Rip Cutting
The Model G0764 has the capability of rip cutting
large panels (see Figure 102). The sliding table
removes the burden of sliding a large and heavy
panel over a stationary table surface.

The edge shoe (see Figure 102) is used to
stabilize the front end of a workpiece when
otherwise unsecured.
This saw also has the capability of rip cutting
smaller boards, using the machine as a traditional
table saw (see Figure 103). Smaller, lighter boards
are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron
table surface to the right of the saw blade.

(Figure 104).
Figure 104. Stop block against 0° stop bolt.
2.
Check to make sure fence is at 0°, and if
necessary, adjust it as described in Squaring
Crosscut Fence to Blade on Page 79.
3.
Adjust distance between crosscut fence and
blade (refer to Page 54 for further details).
4.
Set a flip stop to desired width of cut.
5.
Position blade guard according to height of
workpiece. (Refer to Understanding Blade
Guard on Page 44.)
6.
Load workpiece onto table saw. The setup
