Blade Drift Compensation:
Blade drift is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during
resawing.
Blade drift may occur when the fence is being used, the blade
begins to wander off the cutting line (Fig 18).
Blade drift can be caused by a number of factors.
- The saw blade follows the grain
- The saw blade is dull.
- Blade guides not adjusted correctly.
- Blade tension unsufficient.
- Blade-teeth have asymmetric"set"
With the blots (D and E, Fig 19), the rip fence profile can be
angled. This allows guiding the workpiece in line with cut.

Auxiliary fence for rip fence:
For your own safety always set the upper saw guide as close to
the workpiece as possible.
For narrow shallow cuts on the rip fence a self-made auxiliary
fence (E, Fig. 20) made of cutable material ( e.g. wood, plastic,
aluminium) must be used.
Length same as rip fence.
