Push Paddles
Push paddles provide added leverage and sup-
port when ripping or crosscutting wide work-
pieces. See Figure 3. We offer a number of push
paddles in the Grizzly catalog.
Featherboard
Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards
provide an added degree of protection against
kickback. To make a featherboard, cut a 30-
40° angle at one end of the board and make a
number of end cuts at approximately
1
4" apart
and 2" to 3" deep. We also offer a number of
featherboards in the Grizzly catalog. See
Figure 4.
