Figure 67. Example of second cut to create a
rabbet.
6. Reconnect saw to power source, then per-
form cut.
7. Lay workpiece flat on table, as shown in
Figure 67, adjust saw blade height to inter-
sect with first cut, then perform second cut to
complete rabbet.
DO NOT place a tall board on edge to per-
form a rabbet cut with a standard blade.
Workpieces that are too tall to properly sup-
port with fence can easily shift during oper-
ation and cause kickback. Instead, place
stock flat on saw and perform rabbet cut
with a dado blade, as instructed on Page 42.

Resawing
Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece
of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Although
resawing can be done with a table saw, we
strongly recommend that you use a bandsaw
instead.
A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and
resawing with one is fairly easy and safe. A table
saw is not intended for resawing, and resawing
with one is difficult and dangerous due to the
increased risk of kickback from binding and deep
cuts, and the increased risk of injury from having
to remove the guard.
If you insist on resawing with a table saw, DO NOT
do so without using a resaw barrier and wearing a
full face shield. The following instructions describe
how to build a resaw barrier and add an auxiliary
fence to your standard fence, to reduce the risk
injury from resawing on a table saw.
Note: To determine the maximum resawing height
for this table saw, find the maximum blade height,
then double it and subtract
1
⁄
8
".
Resawing operations require proper pro-
cedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care
must be taken to prevent kickback when
resawing. Any tilting or movement of the
workpiece away from the fence will cause
kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and
straight. Failure to follow these warnings
could result in serious personal injury.
