3. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done
carefully. Narrow pieces usually cannot be cut with the
guard in position. If the workpiece is short enough, use a
pushboard. When ripping material under 2 inches in
width, a flat pushboard is a valuable accessory since
ordinary type sticks may interfere with the blade guard.
When using a pushboard, the width of the pushboard
must be added to the width of the rip fence position
setting. A flat pushboard can be constructed as shown in
Fig. 43 and should be used as shown in Fig. 42
NOTE: Some special operations (when using the
moulding cutterhead) require the addition of an auxiliary
wood facing to the fence, as explained in the section
“USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON THE RIP
FENCE” and use of a push stick.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING
ON RIP FENCE
Wood facings (A) Fig. 43A 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 through the
holes in the fence. Most work will require a 3/4 " stock,
although an occasional job may require 1" facing.
