The danger of kickback increases relative to
the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kick-
back by making multiple passes to achieve
the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow
these warnings could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Always use push sticks or push paddles to
increase safety and control during opera-
tions which require that the blade guard
and spreader must be removed from the
saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after
resawing is complete.
8. Plug in the table saw, turn it ON, and use a
push stick or push block to feed the workpiece
through the blade, using a slow and steady
feed rate.
9. Flip the workpiece end for end, keeping the
same side against the fence, and run the
workpiece through the blade.
6. Lower the blade completely below the table,
and slide the workpiece over the blade
to make sure it moves smoothly and fits
between the resaw barrier and fence.
7. Raise the blade approximately an inch, or
close to half the height of the workpiece
(Figure 71), whichever is less.

11. Turn OFF the table saw, then separate the
parts of the workpiece and hand plane the
remaining ridge to remove it.
12. When finished resawing, remove the resaw
barrier and auxiliary fence, then re-install the
blade guard/spreader or riving knife and stan-
dard table insert.
10. Repeat Steps 7–9 until the blade is close to
half of the height of the board to be resawn.
The ideal completed resaw cut will leave an
1
⁄8" connection when the resawing is com-
plete as shown in Figure 71. Leaving an
1
⁄8"
connection will reduce the risk of kickback.
