Push Sticks
The use of a push stick ( Figure 1 ), particularly
when cutting small or narrow workpieces, pro-
vides an added level of safety for the operator.
See the template at the end of the manual for
construction details, or purchase one from the
Grizzly catalog.
Zero Clearance Table Inserts
Ideal for use when ripping thin strips or making
bevel cuts, zero clearance table inserts reduce
workpiece tearout and prevent cut-off pieces from
getting jammed between the blade and the table.
See
Figure 2 for examples of zero clearance
table inserts.

Featherboards
Featherboards ( Figure 3 ) help prevent workpiece
kickback. To make a featherboard, cut a 30-40°
angle at one end of the board, and make a num-
ber of end cuts at approximately
1 ⁄
4
" apart and 2"
to 3" deep.
