Introduction

You can now cut straight boards from irregular-edged

boards without using a jointer! The SHOP FOX

®

Model D3119 Board Straighteners

™

hold a board with

an irregular edge to a guide board with a known

straight edge. This stable arrangement can then be slid

along the table saw fence, producing a straight cut on

the irregular board.

• READ and UNDERSTAND this instruction

sheet and your table saw instruction manual

before you use Board Straighteners

™

. Otherwise,

serious personal injury may occur.

• If you are using BOARD BUDDIES

®

or any other

anti-kickback device on your table saw, make sure

that no interference or unsafe condition exists if

used in conjunction with Board Straighteners

™

.

• Always use two or more Board Straighteners

™

to

hold the workpiece to the guide board; otherwise,

the boards can slip apart, causing kickback. It is

often better to use too-many Board Straighteners

™

than too-few.

• ONLY use Board Straighteners

™

for holding an

irregular-edged board to a guide board for cutting

on your table saw. Board Straighteners

™

are not

designed for cutting warped boards, which do not

sit flat on the table. DO NOT modify Board

Straighteners

™

for any other task, but rather, use

“C” clamps, vises, jigs, and bar clamps for

associated clamping and gluing needs.
