5. Clamp the l-shaped plywood extension to your
fence. Adjust the fence to the desired ripping width. Rip the thin strip by
guiding the board along the plywood fence extension.
6. Complete the rip by using the l-shaped push
block to push the thin strip past the blade and anti-kickback
pawl.
7. Rip a 6-in. wide strip from the straight
factory edge of a sheet of plywood. Use screws or finish nails to temporarily
attach the crooked board to the plywood strip. Keep the fasteners away from the
edge where they might come in contact with the saw blade.

8. Set the fence to remove the least amount of
material and trim the attached board. Using the standard ripping procedure
shown in Photo 2, guide the edge of the plywood against the fence as you run
the board and plywood through the saw blade. Unscrew the board from the plywood
and rip it again with the newly created straight edge against the
fence.
