Making a Featherboard
(Fig. 64)
A featherboard should be made from a straight
piece of wood that is free of knots or cracks. Fig.
64 shows typical feather board dimensions.
The kerf, A, should be about 1/4” (6.35 mm)
apart.
Making an Auxiliary Fence
(Fig. 62, Fig. 63)
Make the Auxiliary Fence 95 using pieces of 3/8”
(8.7 mm) plywood, A, and 3/4” (19 mm) hard-
wood, B. Fasten together with glue and wood-
screws.
NOTE: Since a Push Block 94 is used with the
Auxiliary Fence 95, the 4-3/4” (120.6 mm) di-
mensions must be identical on both pieces.
