To install the rip fence, for this table saw all we need to do is drop it into place. And to measure for the back wall, the back wall will be twenty four inches. You measure from once again from the blade to the edge of the rip fence, twenty four inches. Then lock the rip fence into place. We will be cutting our half inch plywood to size now. This is the back wall for the bird house, or the bat house. And, that's how you cut the plywood for the back of the house. The front of the house must be cut to six inches wide. Once again, we measure from the blade out to the rip fence, six inches, locking the rip fence into place. We have three front pieces that go on our bat house and we have a little bit of a spare for it also. This should work for the top nicely. That is how you cut the front and back of the bat house."
