ASSEMBLING THE FEATHERBOARD
NOTE: The top/front side of the featherboard
is marked to indicate proper feed direction.
Fence Featherboard (Fig. 19 and Detail 19)
1. Insert two 1/4-20 x 1¾" carriage bolts (32)
through the back of the fence assembly (C)
and the slotted holes in the featherboard
(19). See Detail 19.
2. Thread clamping knobs (18) onto each
carriage bolt (32) and tighten when
featherboard (19) is at the desired height.
3. The workpiece should move with some
resistance but without requiring a great effort.
Featherboard can be mounted in one of two
locations—right or left side of the fence
assembly.
ROUTING USING FEATHERBOARD
(Fig. 20)
Featherboard is helpful in controlling the
workpiece while routing and assisting in
keeping the workpiece flat on the tabletop.
The fence featherboard helps keep the
workpiece pressed against the fence and
tabletop.
1. Loosen clamping knobs (18) on featherboard
(19) until featherboard is adjustable.
2. Place the workpiece on the router table (1)
so that it is squarely against the fence
assembly (C).
3. Position the featherboard (19) snugly
against the workpiece and tighten the
clamping knobs (18).
4. The workpiece should move with some
resistance but without requiring a great
effort.

Such precautionary safety measures reduce
the risk of personal injury and/or property
damage.
•
Featherboards aid in holding the workpiece
in position when routing on a router table.
•
They are NOT intended to hold the
workpiece in place alone when the
workpiece is in contact with the bit, or
at any other time when the bit is turning.
