-40- G0501 Sliding Table Saw
The Model G0501 has the capability of rip cutting
full size panels (Figure 65). The sliding table
removes the burden of sliding a large and heavy
panel over a stationary table surface.
This saw also has the capability of rip cutting
smaller boards, using the machine as a tradition-
al table saw (Figure 66). Smaller, lighter boards
are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron
table surface to the right of the saw blade.

— To use the sliding table, read the instruc-
tions titled “Rip cutting with the sliding

Rip cutting with the sliding table:
1. Mount the crosscut table to the sliding table.
2. Slide and secure the crosscut table to the
end of the sliding table opposite the sliding
table handle.
3. Install the crosscut fence in the guide pin
holes shown in Figure 67 and lock it in place
with the cam locks. Note—First, drop the
crosscut fence into the outside edge guide
pin hole, then drop the other end of the
crosscut fence into the guide pine hole clos-
est to the sliding table.
