Never lock your work piece in whilst sliding it.Only lock when using a circular hand saw or router from overhead to keep the work piece still.kenkenni wrote:Gotcha! I been on ebay trying to source me a couple of hold-downs also. I'm also messing with the idea of
using small wood dowels to have the work piece slide against in conjunction with the saw fence to help keep
the boards locked in while also allowing movement along the table.
If you lock in from both sides and you have kickback or other adjustment problems the likely hood of injury is very high.
You will get used to working with the RAR it does not take long, you just need to be aware of the danger of overhead cutting and never take it for granted that it won't happen.I seen it too many times with overconfidence staff that used a machine they were not trained on and did not have a clue of the dangers.
Stick to the rules.
