Featherboard Construction (Fig. DD, EE)
Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, and help prevent
kickbacks. Dimensions for making a typical featherboard are shown in Figure DD. Make
the featherboard from a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Clamp the
featherboard to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboard will support the
workpiece until the cut is complete (Fig. EE). An 8" (203 mm) high flat board can be clamped to
the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8" (203 mm) high board.

the blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife when the non-
through-cutting operation is complete. Make sure the featherboard presses only on the
portion of the workpiece in front of the blade.
