4. Rip Cut on a Table Saw—Jointed edge

of workpiece is placed against a table saw

fence and opposite edge cut off.

Squaring stock means making it flat and paral-

lel along both length and width, and making the

length and width perpendicular to one another.

The purpose of squaring stock is to prepare it for

accurate cuts and construction later on.

A properly "squared up" workpiece is essential

for tasks such as accurate table saw cuts, glue-

ups/laminations, cutting accurate bevels on a

bandsaw, and many other applications where

one surface of a workpiece is used to reference

another.
