Abstract

An improved design for a featherboard. The featherboard exerts lateral pressure against a work piece, keeping it pressed against a guide fence of a power tool for improved accuracy of cut. The featherboard consists of a bracket, which can be fixed to and removed from the worktable without tools. It has one or more attachment posts. The bracket also has a guide that accepts a featherboard arm that can be locked in place with a locking knob when it is in the desired position. At the end of the featherboard arm is one or more flexible plates with guide marks. When the featherboard arm is properly positioned the flexible plate(s) is/are pressed into the work piece to hold the work piece against the guide fence and to prevent kick back of the work piece by the saw.
