Feather Board and Push Blocks
A push stick is included with the PM3000 table
saw. In addition, a multitude of after market
products are available that can be used in
conjunction with the miter slot and fence,
including feather boards and push blocks. These
can be purchased at most woodworking stores
that sell table saws and accessories.
Push Stick
The use of a push stick provides an added level
of safety for the operator and is provided with
this machine.
Filler Piece
A filler piece (Figure 33) is necessary for narrow
ripping and permits the blade guard to remain on
