What is a Rip Kit?

A Rip Kit is an accessory for Radial Arm Saws, allowing the saw to perform rip cuts. Rip cuts involve cutting a board lengthwise or parallel to the grain. This kit includes components such as an anti-kickback assembly and adjusts the saw’s motor to swivel parallel to the fence, expanding the saw’s functionality for woodworking projects.

When do woodworkers make rip cuts?

Woodworkers make rip cuts when they need to resize wider boards into narrower pieces or when creating precise, parallel cuts along the length of a board. Rip cuts are commonly used in cabinetry, furniture making, and general woodworking to customize material dimensions.

Can I order a Rip Kit for my Radial Arm Saw and install it myself?

Rip Kits require factory installation to ensure proper alignment and functionality. Order a Rip Kit when you order your saw.

My Radial Arm Saw needs a new guard. Does the Rip Kit include a new guard assembly?

No, the Rip Kit does not include a guard assembly. If you need a new guard for your Radial Arm Saw, it must be ordered separately. The Rip Kit consists of the anti-kickback assemblies and screws, as referenced in the product diagram.

What is the anti-kickback assembly, and why is it important?

The anti-kickback assembly is a safety feature included in the Rip Kit that helps prevent the material from being thrown back toward the operator during rip cuts. It provides safer operation by reducing the risk of kickback, which can occur when cutting materials along the grain.
