ABSTRACT:
A straddle block is used with a table saw having a rip fence, and consists of a body having a substantially vertically extending fixed leg, a bridge extending from the fixed leg, an adjustable leg attached to and vertically displaceable relative to the bridge. The vertically adjustable leg may be reversed for right or left-handed use, and has opposing, substantially horizontal, rectilinear edges for engaging an upper surface of a piece of stock to be cut on the table saw, and opposing outwardly extending step portions adjacent an end of each rectilinear edge for engaging the trailing end of the stock as it is pushed across the saw table. The bridge spaces the fixed leg from the adjustable leg sufficiently to receive a rip fence therebetween such that the straddle block may slidably engage the rip fence without skewing relative thereto.
