Thread: Kapex trick?

G'day,
I have finally got to use the Kapex a bit more today to cut some pine. I was cutting a 30 x 30mm piece to pieces 330 long. I am a bit disappointed that there isn't a quick way to attach a stop block, but I used a scrap of wood and a clamp as I had 14 pieces to cut.

My question though relates to splitting. I was cutting the 30 x 30 mm to length and the back edge was splitting out. Is there a trick to getting a clean cut? Seeing I am using a stop block I can make a shallow cut and then turn the wood over, but is there another way?

By the way, the Kapex is great!! Quiet, dangerously accurate and repeatable and almost no dust!
