Description
The PF3-JR Stock Feeder can be mounted to a table saw, shaper, jointer, etc., and will act as a “third
hand” for the operator to smoothly feed workpieces through the auxiliary machine. The Stock Feeder has
a continuous-duty motor and lubricated gearbox that transmit power through roller chain and sprockets to
the feed rollers, providing superior positive feeding for all types of materials. The stand is fully adjustable
with universal joints, and heavy locking mechanisms secure the feeder in horizontal, vertical or angled
positions. The roller system is “maintenance-friendly” allowing you to replace a single roller if necessary,
instead of a complete set.
