A shorter course in woodworking; a practical manual for home and school . 94 A Shorter Course in Woodworking. Fig. 242 through with a stick notched at the end as in Fig. 240. Push the piece clear through. Do not reach over after it. To split a piece which is too thick for thesaw, saw one-half way throughon one side, turn the piece overand saw through the remainingthickness. If necessary to use an irregularedge against the gauge, a straight-edged piece, o f equal widththroughout, can be placed onthe side toward the gauge andboth pushed through together(Fig. 241). In machines madeto do a variety of work the splitting-gauge can be tipped for cutting bevels. ^ To saw across the grain use the cross-cutting saw, and also the cross-cutting gauge, which slides back and forth at right angles to the saw. Hold the wood firmly against the gauge (Fig. 242). If the piece to be cut off is long enough to require being held by the hand, simply steady it with-out pushing, lest the wood close on the saw (Fig. 242). Cross-cutting gauges are also adjustable to cut at any angle. Some gauges have an adjustment or s
