Fig. 49, 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. 50, 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 featherboar
ds for all non “thru-sawing” operations where the guard and splitter assembly must be
removed. Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non thru-sawing operation is completed.
