USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE
When performing special cutting operations – and that operation may cause the cutting implement to contact the fence – it is necessary to add a wood facing (A) Fig. 71, to one side of the rip fence as shown. The wood facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence.

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD
Fig. 73, illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material which the featherboard is constructed of, should be a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboards to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed.
Use featherboards for all non “thru- sawing” operations where the guard and spreader assembly must be removed (see Fig. 72). Always replace the guard and spreader assembly when the non thru- sawing operation is completed.
