TAPER RIPPING
NEVER ANGLE THE FENCE TO THE BLADE FOR TAPER RIPPING. Taper cuts cannot be made
in this way and are extremely dangerous if attempted.

The width of material you can handle is limited and you may have to attach a packer to the
protractor face to achieve a desired cutting line. The workpiece should be attached to the packer
(using double sided tape or mechanical fasteners). Or fit a rear pusher block to the packer.
Rehearse these cuts with the blade dropped below the table level, and the overhead guard removed,
to check your hand positions. Do not rely on the first few millimetres of track at either end of the table for
completely accurate guidance.

Attach a straight, board (100-150mm wide and 25-35mm
thick) to the rip fence as described above.
Make a guided "rider", using an offcut of the same board
with cleats on both sides to slide snugly along the top of
the board.

When working with narrow wood, make sure the
workpiece cannot jam in the blade slot. Use a mask
taped to the table as in Edge Work on Thin Material,

To rip tapers, the workpiece must be angled by a guide
that travels parallel to the blade.
For short tapers (400-500mm long), you can use the
protractor as your guide. The right hand table slot can
be used for wider pieces. Hold the workpiece tightly
against the sandpaper face and down on the table.
Make sure the overhead guard is fitted and correctly
lowered, because your fingers will be passing quite
close to the blade.
For longer or wider tapers, use a thin piece of parallel-sided
scrap as your guide. Attach the workpiece at the desired
angle. Slide the scrap against the fence, which is set parallel
to the blade. If the scrap was cut to say 100mm wide, set the
fence at 100mm, to give good back-up support directly
beside the blade.
Use brads or strong double-sided tape to attach the
workpiece, or use countersunk bolts, wing-nuts, large
washers and offcuts to clamp it to the scrap as shown in
