USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE

When performing special cutting operations – and that

operation may cause the cutting implement to contact

the fence – it is necessary to add a wood facing (A) Fig.

145, to one side of the rip fence as shown. The wood

facing is attached to the fence with wood screws

through holes drilled in the fence. 3/4-inch stock is

suitable for most work, although an occasional job may

require one-inch facing.

CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD

Fig. 74, 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

featherboards for all non “thru-sawing” operations where

the guard and spreader assembly must be removed (see Fig. 75). Always replace the guard and spreader assembly when the

non thru-sawing operation is completed.

Kerf should be

about 1/4" apart.
