5. Cut a miter bar that will fit in the table miter
slot approximately 5" long, as shown in
Figure 103.
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.
6. Drill a
1
⁄4" hole in the center of the bar, then
countersink the bottom to fit a
1
⁄4"-20 flat head
screw.
7. Mark a 4" line through the center of the coun-
tersunk hole in the center, then use a jig saw
with a narrow blade to cut it out.
8. Assemble the miter bar and featherboard
with a
1
⁄4"-20 x flat head screw, flat washer,
and a wing nut or a star knob (see Figure
104). Congratulations! Your featherboard is
complete.
4. Rout a
1
⁄4"–
3
⁄8" wide slot 4"–5" long in the
workpiece and 1"–2" from the short end of the
featherboard (see Figure 102).

on the thickness of the featherboard—though
