Cutting Aides
Clamp the featherboard to the front table,
so that the angled edge of the feather-
board is against the workpiece on the in-
feed side of the blade. Do not clamp the
featherboard against the cut off part (out-
feed side) of the workpiece. If clamped to
the outfeed side, the featherboard can
squeeze the kerr closed, put binding pres-
sure on the blade, and cause kickback.
Straight Edge for Irregular
Workpiece
WARNING
If you try to rip an irregular
workpiece, it could bind blade and
cause kickback.
If the workpiece you want to rip does not
have a straight edge, attach a straight-
edged board to the workpiece:
i) place irregular side of workpiece against
fence
ii) put straight-edged board on top of
workpiece and against fence
iii) tack straight edged board to workpiece.
Feather Board
This Side
Note: Straight-edged board must not extend
beyond leading end of workpiece and
should cover workpiece width only enough
to pass between blade and fence.
Note: Use fence at least at high as com-
bined heights of workpiece and straight-
edged board.
