arbor collar and saw blade to create a
"wobble" dado. Never operate the saw
without guard, splitter and anti-kickback
pawls for operations where they can be
used. Never use a dado head in tilted
position.

Feather Board (Figure 46)
The Feather Board is to be made of straight
grain hardwood approximately 1” thick and 4" to
8" wide. 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. Drilled and tapped holes in the table
top allow the use of wing nuts and washers as a
method of clamping. Provide slots in the feather
board for adjustment if this method of fastening
is used. (See illustration for 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 (Figure 47)
A filler piece is necessary for narrow ripping and
permits the guard to remain on the machine. It
also provides space for the safe use of a push
stick.
