Safety Devices

Feath r Board
e
The feather board (Figure 40) should be made
of straight grain hardwood approximately 1" thick
and 4" to 8" wide depending on the size of the
machine. The length is developed in accordance
with intended use. Feather boards can be
fastened to the table or rip fence by use of
C-clamps. If this method of fastening is used,
provide slots in the feather board for adjustment.
(The illustration shows a method of attaching
and use of the feather board as a vertical comb.
The horizontal application is essentially the
same except that the attachment is to the table
top.)

Filler Piece

A filler piece (Figure 41) is necessary for narrow
ripping and permits the blade guard to remain on
the machine. It also provides space for the safe
use of a push stick.
