G0605X/G0606X Extreme Series 12" Table Saw

Resawing

Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of

stock into one or more thinner pieces. Bandsaws

are ideal for resawing and the process is fairly

easy and safe. A table saw is not intended

for resawing and the process is difficult and

extremely dangerous. Resawing on the table

saw often binds the blade, causing kickback.

The risk of kickback increases relative to the

depth of a cut. Kickback is more dangerous when

resawing on a table saw because the anti-kick

back devices and blade guard must be removed,

leaving no protection between your hands and the

saw blade. Kickback can pull the operator's hands

into the blade, or the operator or bystanders may

be hit by flying stock. DO NOT resaw on a table

saw without using a resaw barrier. DO NOT resaw

on a table saw without wearing a full face shield.

The following instructions describe how to build a

resaw barrier, add an auxiliary fence to your stan

dard fence, and more safely perform resawing

operations.

Note: This table saw can only resaw wood that is

less than 8" tall.

Resawing on a table saw increases the

chances of kickback. Serious injury can be

caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-

speed expulsion of stock from the tablesaw

toward an operator. The operator or bystand

ers may be struck by flying stock, or the

operator’s hands can be pulled into the

blade during the kickback.

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.

Resaw Barrier

The resaw barrier shown in Figure 54 holds the

workpiece vertical, keeps the workpiece aligned

with the fence, and keeps your hands away from

the blade.
