HOW TO MAKE AN ADDITIONAL PUSH STICK
Refer to Figure 29
• In order to operate your table saw safely, you must use a push
stick whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would
otherwise cause your hands to be within 6" (15 cm) of the saw
blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.
• No special wood is needed to make additional push sticks as long
as it’s sturdy and long enough. Make sure that a push stick is long
enough and has a notch that fits against the edge of the
workpiece to prevent slipping. It’s a good idea to have several
push sticks of the same length with different size notches for
different workpiece thicknesses.
• The shape can vary to suit your own needs as long as it performs
its intended function of keeping your hands away from the blade.
PUSH BLOCKS
Push blocks are blocks used to securely hold down the workpiece
against the table. They include some gripping surface or handle to
hold the block. Any screws running through the underside of the
block to fasten the handle should be recessed in order to avoid
contact with the workpiece.
HOW TO MAKE A PUSH BLOCK
Refer to Figure 30
• Select a piece of wood about 4" wide, 6" long and 1 to 2" thick (10
cm W, 15 cm L, and 2.5 to 5 cm thick). A cutoff from a 2 x 4" (5 x 10
cm) makes a good blank for a push block.
• Drill a hole in the block and glue in a dowel to use as a handle
(you can angle the hole to provide a more comfortable grip on
the handle).
• To finish off the block, glue a piece of sandpaper or some kind of
rubber material (old mouse pads work well) to the bottom of the
block.
WARNING! Use a push block when the distance between the fence
and the saw blade is less than 2" (5 cm).
FEATHERBOARDS
A featherboard is a device used to help control the workpiece by
guiding it securely against the table or rip fence. Featherboards are
especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for
completing non-through cuts. The end is angled with a series of
narrow slots to give a friction hold on the workpiece. It is locked in
place on the table with a C-clamp. Test to ensure it can resist
kickback.
HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD
Refer to Figure 31
• The featherboard is an excellent project for the saw. Select a solid
piece of lumber approximately 3/4" thick, 2 1/2" wide, and 12"
long (2 cm thick, 6 cm wide, and 30 cm long).
• Mark the centre width on one end of stock. Mitre width to 70°
(see mitre cut section for information on mitre cuts).
• Set rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4" (6 mm) “finger” to be
cut in the stock.
• Feed the stock only to the mark previously made at 4" (10 cm).
• Turn saw off and allow blade to completely stop rotating before
removing stock.
• Reset rip fence and cut spaced rips into workpiece to allow
approximately 1/4" (6 mm) fingers with 1/8" (3 mm) spaces
between fingers.
HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD
Refer to Figure 32
• Completely lower the saw blade. Position the rip fence (1) to the
desired adjustment for the cut to be performed and lock.
• Place the workpiece (2) against the fence and over the saw blade
area. Adjust the featherboard (3) to apply resistance to the
workpiece just forward of the blade. Attach C-clamps (4) (not
included) to further secure the featherboard to the edge of the
saw table.
