CUTOFF GAUGE
When crosscutting a number of pieces to the same length, you can
clamp a block of wood
A
, see Figure 59, to the fence and use it
as a cut-o gauge. The block
A
MUST be at least 3/4 inch
(19mm) thick to prevent the cut o piece from binding between the
blade and the fence. Once the cut-o length is determined, lock the
fence and use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece into the blade.
ALWAYS position the cut-o gauge in front
of the saw blade.

JIGS
Jigs may be created with a variety of special set-ups to control
particular workpiece shapes for particular cuts. Guidance on how to
make specialized jigs can be found in woodworking and carpentry
websites and publications.
DO NOT attempt to create or use a jig
unless you are thoroughly familiar with table saw safety.
DO NOT use any jig that could result in pinching a kerf or
jamming the workpiece between the jig and the blade.
Incorrect setups may cause kickback which could result in
serious injury.
