Tip: Consider making the miter bar longer for larger
featherboards—approximately half the length of the
total featherboard—to support the force applied to
the featherboard during use.

Note: The routed slot, countersunk hole, and the
flat head screw are essential for the miter bar to
clamp into the miter slot. When the wing nut is
tightened, it will draw the flat head screw upward
into the countersunk hole. This will spread the sides
of the miter bar and force them into the walls of
the miter slot, locking the featherboard in place.
Tip: The length of the flat head screw depends on
the thickness of the featherboard—though 1
lengths usually work.
