In some cases it is necessary to use the pushers on the circular saw. Two kinds of pushers
We will focus on two types of pushers for the circular saw. And since they are designed for safe operation, first touch on security.
You know, a lot of YouTube videos seen on the reverse stroke at work on the circular saw. Video shot so that it seems as if kickback - quite frequent and terrible event.
And to make shooting of the event, the authors rollers always violate safety. That emphasis on parallel, the workpiece is pressed against the fence out of alignment, or so surely, shove the blank on the other side of the machine.
In fact, although I am familiar with this phenomenon firsthand, in practice, tuned machine, the saw blade sharp and smooth supply of blanks, obtain a reverse kick pretty hard.
And yet, I think will be helpful to give a few references on the safety of the work on the circular saw. first and second.
And now for the pushers.
The pusher with a projection. In form it may be very different. I usually use some suitable scrap boards, on the edge of a cut do. There is a variant easier - to fasten the rail to the end so that part of it performed by a centimeter.
This pusher is used when it is necessary to cut the workpiece or narrow short workpiece.
Incidentally, this pusher I use most often.
Another type of pushers - a rack about 30 cm long. Normally used in pairs. On the edge of a rail can be cut for convenience. Also the shape of the rack can be made more aesthetically pleasing.
These pushers can be used for a long workpieces.
In some cases, you can do without pushers, and it will be perfectly safe.
Here, the - workpiece fed smoothly, pressing it against the rip fence.
I have at this makeshift machine even when the sawing of narrow workpieces, arranged by rip fence, after sawing or they remain in place, or slowly roll out from under the saw - good setting.
Although most, so I do the grooves, that is, propyl shallow.
And I suggest to watch the video clip, where I talk about these pushers and show their use.
