-42-
Making a Featherboard
(Fig. 60)
A featherboard should be made from a straight
piece of wood that is free of knots or cracks. Fig.
60 shows typical feather board dimensions.
The kerf, A, should be about 1/4″ (6.35 mm) apart.
Making an Auxiliary Fence
(Fig. 58, Fig. 59)
Make the Auxiliary Fence 97 using pieces of 3/8″
(8.7 mm) plywood, A, and 3/4” (19 mm) hardwood,
B. Fasten together with glue and woodscrews.
NOTE: Since a Push Block 96 is used with the Aux-
iliary Fence 97, the 4-3/4″ (120.6 mm) dimensions
must be identical on both pieces.
