PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the push stick using a piece of 1 x 2 as
shown (Fig. 24a).
Make the push block using pieces of 3/8"
plywood A and 3/4" hardwood B (Fig. 24b).
The small piece of wood, 1/2" x 3/8" x 2-1/2",
should be glued to the plywood. Do not use
nails. This is to prevent dulling the sawblade in
the event you mistakenly cut into the push block.
Position the handle in the center of the
plywood and fasten it together with glue and
woodscrews.
Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 inches
or more from the blade. Use a push block when
the operation is too narrow to allow the use of a
push stick.
The push stick or block should be used in the
place of the user's hand to guide the material
only between the fence and blade.
When using a push stick or push block, the
trailing end of the board must be square. A push
stick or block against an uneven end could slip
off or push the work away from the fence.
MAKING A FEATHERBOARD
Figure 25 illustrates dimensions for making a
typical featherboard. It should be made from a
straight piece of wood that is free of knots or
cracks. Kerf E should be 1/4" wide.
