gers contact workpiece. Slide featherboard
toward blade until first finger is nearly even
with end of workpiece, which should be 1"
away from blade.

to ensure they are properly positioned as
described in Step 4. Then secure feather-

firmly enough against the workpiece to keep
it against the fence but not so tight that it is
difficult to feed the workpiece.
