I have looked all over the net and I can't find how to set up a stop block on my rip fence. I realize it's not to complicated and I understand the basic fundamentals but I would just like to see the right way of doing.
For example, I cut mainly MDF, but what would be the best wood to use for a stop block? I am thinking pine because it is so smooth and dense.
Also the clamp, should I be clamping the wood to the fence or to the underside of the table? Is there any special clamp I should use?
Lastly, I will be cutting as small as .7" to about 7" in cross cut lengths. Should I be using a larger stop block for the smaller cuts to keep the fence as far away as possible? and if so, how far should the fence be? Thanks for any help.
