This power feeder greatly simplifies repetitive operations on table saws, jointers, and shapers by automating how workpieces are fed into the cut.
Since the power feeder is typically positioned between the blade and the operator during opera- tions, the operator’s hands do not need to get near the blade when feeding the workpiece, so the danger of an accidental cutting injury is greatly reduced.
Additionally, the power feeder provides more con- sistent results than hand fed operations, because it moves the workpiece at an even speed and maintains consistent workpiece pressure against the table and fence throughout the cut.
The power feeder works by simply attaching rub- ber rollers to a motor through a series of gears designed to control the roller speed.
Since the rubber rollers must be positioned correctly to maintain even workpiece pressure against the table and fence, the power feeder is mounted on a stand that allows it to be moved and locked at an array of heights an angles within the range of the stand.
The power feeder stand is typically mounted to the desired machine by clamping it to the machine’s table, or mounting it directly into the machine’s table via drilled and tapped holes.
