FEATHERBOARD

Description

A featherboard is a versatile and indispensable woodworking accessory designed to enhance safety and accuracy when operating power tools such as table saws, routers, and bandsaws. Its unique design features a series of flexible “fingers” or “feathers” that are positioned perpendicular to the workpiece and pressed firmly against it to prevent kickback and ensure consistent and precise cuts. By exerting pressure against the workpiece and guiding it securely along the fence or table, a featherboard helps to maintain a steady feed rate and reduce the risk of the material being lifted or ejected by the cutting tool. Whether you’re ripping lumber, cutting dados, or shaping edges, a featherboard is an essential tool for maintaining control and achieving professional-quality results in your woodworking projects while prioritizing safety.
