Push Paddles
Push paddles provide added leverage and sup- port when ripping or crosscutting wide work- pieces. See Figure 3. We offer a number of push paddles in the Grizzly catalog.

work piece into the blade.
Featherboard
Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kickback. To make a featherboard, cut a 30- 40¡ angle at one end of the board and make a number of end cuts at approximately 1Ú4" apart and 2" to 3" deep. We also offer a number of featherboards in the Grizzly catalog. See
Figure 4.
