| "OK but mysterious functions" |
Date: 3/17/2007 |
"Like Christopher said, it's a mystery what all the different features are for on this tool. It is NOT a featherboard. It IS a push stick. It has a cute little rubber foot which is supposed to help grip (push) the material through the saw, but the rubber foot is too small and positioned too far back. It has a depth gauge to measure the saw blade height-- this is a good idea, but when I need an ACCURATE height,I use a tape or ruler instead. It also has angle gauges and a "center locator," but you need a little imagination to understand these. Bottom line, it's a good way to keep your hand up away from the saw blade.
Another point (from one who learned recently): Remember, always push the material BETWEEN the BLADE and the FENCE, and push it CLEAR PAST the blade. Many beginners push the material on the OUTSIDE of the fence, but this can cause binding!"
