In accurate cutting, [Fig. 32], where no paring or block-planing is to be done, the saw teeth should cut just by the line, with the kerf in the waste, but with no wood between the line and the kerf. To allow for paring or block-planing, saw about one-sixteenth of an inch in the waste. [Fig. 33].

When ripping, place the piece in the vise and begin sawing as indicated in [Fig. 34]. Place the saw so that just the whole of its thickness is in what is to become waste wood. Begin sawing as was done in crosscutting. Gradually lower the handle, while sawing, until most is being cut from the side nearest you. [Fig. 35]. Reverse the wood several times, working down one side then the other until the cross lines are reached. [Fig. 36] illustrates the result of good and bad sawing.
