Good day

I had to rip a few small pieces for some router table aid/fixture and I would like to share with you the method.

I'm using an Auxiliary fence clamped to the rip fence...now, when I'm saying Aux fence.... give me some good width say, 4"~6"....you don't like to "drive" in congested areas, do you...

Before clamping the Aux fence, give it a pass through the blade just to make sure that its parallel and consistent in width.

The sled is made of 5/16" (8mm) "Floor panel" but of course, you can use plywood or MDF.
It's very easy to make it, just a runner glued/screwed under the board...you don't need a fence but you can add one and use the sled as "multi purpose"...as I do...

As you will see, I'm holding both hands on the trowel and that, doesn't leave too many hands or fingers to be used as a "Backer board" for the workpiece...saves a lot of money...(no need SS:) )...

Regards
niki
