CONSTRUCTING A

FEATHERBOARD

Fig. 34, 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 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.

Use featherboar

ds for all non “thru-

sawing” operations where the guard and spreader

assembly must be removed (see Fig. 33). Always replace

the guard and spreader assembly when the non thru-

sawing operation is completed.
