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:
Ripping Blade 14" ...............................................1
Clamps ...............................................................2
Shop-Made Resaw Barrier .................................1
You may experience kickback during this
procedure. Stand to the side of the blade
path and wear safety glasses and a full face
shield to reduce risk of injury.

Lower blade completely below table and slide
workpiece over blade to make sure it moves

Raise the blade approximately 1", or close to
half the height of the workpiece, whichever is
less.
Connect saw to power, turn it ON, and use a
push stick to feed workpiece through blade
using a slow, steady feed rate.
