Non-Through &
Through Cuts
Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes
and rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk
of injury from kickback because the blade guard
must be removed. However, the riving knife MUST
be installed because it still provides some protec-
tion. When making non-through cuts with a dado
blade, do not attempt to cut the full depth in one
pass. Instead, take multiple light passes to reduce
the load on the blade. A dado blade smaller than
10
"
will require removal of the riving knife, because
the riving knife will be higher than the blade.
Non-Through Cuts
Figure 53. Example of a non-through cut.
A non-through cut is a sawing operation where
the blade does not protrude above the top face of
the wood stock, as shown in the
Figure below.
Figure 54. Example of a through cut (blade
guard not shown for illustrative clarity).
Through Cuts
A through cut is a sawing operation in which the
workpiece is completely sawn through, as shown
in the
Figure below
. Examples of through cuts are
rip cuts, cross cuts, miter cuts, and beveled cuts.
The blade guard assembly MUST be used when
performing through cuts.
Workpiece
Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to cut on this
machine or may need to be modified before they
can be safely cut. Before cutting, inspect all
workpieces for the following:
