Attaching a featherboard to the BT3 no miter slot

[gwyneth]

Thank you, Loren, for another good answer (what makes them so good is that you give the reasons and theory, too--makes a big difference.)

You can also get featherboards like the one pictured from Rockler:


You just slide the smt over till there's a 3/4" space between it and the main table. Insert the featerboard, and tighten the knobs to hold the FB in place.

What an info payoff for renewing this old thread! I have one of those Rockler featherboards and couldn't figure out any easy way to use it.

Better than getting one of those receipts with a star that makes your lunch free--thanks, pecker!
