Your right hand will pull the motor and blade firmly across the stock. How far should the blade protrude above the lumber when using the table saw? why? - ANSWER The blade should protrude 1/4 inch above the stock. This will minimize the risk of injury. When and why is a push stick used in this shop? - ANSWER A push stick is used while operating the table saw if the distance between the fence and the blade is less than 6 inches. It is also used on the jointer if jointing an edge if the stock is lower than the fence. This keeps the hands a safe distance from the blade and greatly reduces the possibility of injury.
