CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD

Fig. S23, 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, as shown in Fig. S24, 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. An 8" high flat board can be clamped to the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8" high board.

USE FEATHERBOARDS FOR ALL NON “THRU-SAWING” OPERATIONS WHERE THE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED. ALWAYS REPLACE THE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY WHEN THE NON THRU-SAWING OPERATION IS COMPLETED. MAKE SURE THE FEATHERBOARD

PRESSES ONLY ON THE PORTION OF THE WORKPIECE IN FRONT OF THE BLADE.
