Assemble the power feeder before you mount the
base to determine where on the table top to drill
your base mounting holes, so you can maximize
power feeder swing and adjustment options.
There are three mounting options available,
Through-Bolt.Mounting
,
Direct.Mounting
, and
Quick.Holder.Mounting

. Choose an option that suits your requirements.
Your final goal is to be able to use the handcranks

Also, you must be able to adjust the power
feeder so it points towards the machine fence
slightly (see
Figure.35
). In other words, the
tracking of the power feeder must be toed-in
approximately 1° to 1.5° degrees toward the
machine fence, so the power feeder wheels push
the workpiece against the fence slightly during
cutting operations.
If cutting long or large stock that is difficult to
feed properly, use a featherboard before the
power feeder (on the infeed side) to maintain
even pressure and control of the workpiece
against the fence.
