Abstract

A rip saw with multiple saws adjustably positionable along a power-driven arbor. A clamp or hold-down assembly is provided on its upstream side, and on the downstream side, of the arbor and its saws. Each assembly is passable along an inclined path that converges on the path of travel of work through the machine. The assemblies inhibit fluttering in and otherwise stabilize boards as they are being cut by the saws.
