Feather Board

The feather board (Figure 40) should be made of straight grain hardwood approximately 1" thick and 4" to 8" wide depending on the size of the machine. The length is developed in accordance with intended use. Feather boards can be fastened to the table or rip fence by use of C-clamps. If this method of fastening is used, provide slots in the feather board for adjustment. (The illustration shows a method of attaching and use of the feather board as a vertical comb. The horizontal application is essentially the same except that the attachment is to the table top.)

Filler Piece

A filler piece (Figure 41) is necessary for narrow ripping and permits the blade guard to remain on the machine. It also provides space for the safe use of a push stick.
