Shop-made box guards are an excellent way to enclose the cutter to virtually eliminate accidental contact with the cutter during operation. Having the cutter enclosed also helps increase the efficiency of dust collection. The drawback to box guards is that one size does not fit all. Often, professional woodworkers who use box guards make multiple guards that are different sizes.

=`^li\+. shows one way to make and attach a box guard to the Model W1827. For durability and strength, use a hardwood when making box guards. When installing the box guard, adjust the box guard approximately 1⁄4" above the stock you will shape and use hold downs on both sides.

Feather boards work similarly to the hold-downs provided with the shaper in the way they hold stock tightly against the fence and the table, while flexing with minor height or width variations from stock as it passes through. Because of the consistent pressure featherboards place on the stock, cuts are more consistent, the risk of kickback is greatly reduced, and the operator's hands do not need to get near the cutter to maintain feeding pressure. If a kickback does occur, featherboards will also slow down or stop the workpiece.

A shop made featherboard can be made to accommodate sizes of stock that the included hold-downs cannot reach. =`^li\+/ shows the dimensions of a basic featherboard. The ultimate size is flexible and should be built around

To install a featherboard, feed a piece of stock halfway through the machine, then turn the machine F==. Place the featherboard against the stock so all the fingers touch the edge of the stock, then clamp the featherboard to the fence or table. For best results, place featherboards just before and just after the cutter. An alternative mounting method for tables is to rout a slot in the featherboard and use T-slot mounting hardware to secure the featherboard.
