FEATHERBOARD

A featherboard is a device used to help control the

workpiece by holding it securely against the table or fence.

Featherboards are especially useful when ripping small

workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end

is angled with a number of short kerfs to give a friction hold

on the workpiece and locked in place on the table with a

C-clamp. Test to ensure it can resist kickback.

HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD

See Figure 23.

The featherboard is an excellent project for the saw.

Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in. thick,

2-1/2 in. wide and 12 in. long. Mark the center of the width

on one end of the stock. Miter the width to 70° (see page

33 for information on miter cuts).

Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 33. Set

the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in. “finger” to be

cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to the mark previously

made at 6 in. Turn the saw OFF and allow the blade to com-

pletely stop rotating before removing the stock. Reset the

rip fence and cut spaced rips into the workpiece to allow

approximately 1/4 in. fingers and 1/8 in. spaces between

the fingers.

OPERATION

WARNING:

Mount the featherboard in front of the saw blade. If

positioned improperly, kickback can result from the

featherboard pinching the workpiece and binding the

blade in the saw kerf. Failure to heed this warning can

result in serious personal injury.

HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD

See Figure 24.

Completely lower the saw blade. Position the rip fence to

the desired adjustment for the cut to be performed and lock.

Place the workpiece against the fence and over the saw

blade area. Adjust the featherboard to apply resistance to

the workpiece just forward of the blade. Securely tighten the

adjusting clamp knob to secure the featherboard in place.

Attach C-clamps to further secure the featherboard to the

edge of the saw table.
