Featherboards on Aluminum
|
I want to use feather boards on my table saw but the table is
aluminum and has no T-slots and no flat areas on the back for clamping.
Suggestions? : I once had a similar situation that I solved
by drilling a few holes in strategic spots in the table top. Think of a
workbench with just a couple of bench dog holes. You can leave them as
holes to drop in pegged boards, thread them with a tap, or epoxy in
threaded inserts that let you screw down boards with either a standard
size threaded bolt or a
threaded knob. Design your feather boards to work with the holes.
