Position the feeder assembly (A) Fig. 44 so that the saw
blade is placed between the middle roller (B) and the
infeed roller (E). Also, position the stock feeder slightly at
an angle to the direction of feed. For example, the out-
feed roller (C) should be approximately 1/4" closer to the
fence (D) than the infeed roller (E) (Fig. 49). This posi-
tion will keep the workpiece against the fence.

USING THE STOCK FEEDER ON A TABLE SAW

Position the feeder assembly (A) Fig. 45 so that all
rollers (B), (C), and (D) are over the outfeed table (E) Fig.
45. Place the first roller (D) approximately 1/4" from the
leading edge (F) of the outfeed table and the third roller
(B) approximately 1/4" closer to the fence (G) than roller
(D). The downward pressure of the rollers on the
stock should be as light as possible while still
maintaining proper feeding action.
