Work Feed Devices
Before cutting any wood on your saw,
study all of the “Basic Saw Operations”.
As you learn new table saw woodworking
techniques, you’ll see that many types of
cuts need different support and feeding
devices, known as jigs or fixtures. They
can help you make cuts more accurately.
By helping to steady the workpiece and
keep you away from the blade, they can
help you safely use your saw for certain
cuts.
Many people custom build their own jigs
and fixtures. Jigs and fixtures are often
designed for a particular cut.
You can use your table saw to easily
make many jigs and fixtures. To get you
started, we’ve included instructions for
some simple ones. After you have made a
few practice cuts, make up these jigs
before starting any projects. The use of
these devices is explained in “Basic Saw
Operations” section.
