Wood 3 Thicknesses of Paper . Blade NOTE:
The spreader is thinner than the width of the kerr by approximately six thicknesses of paper 8 Make two folds in a smaII piece (6 x 6 inch) of ordinary newspaper making three thicknesses. Looking Down on Saw / l The folded paper will be used as "spacing gauge".. 9 Raise blade to maximum height and make sure blade is square to the saw table. 10.
