Because the boards are all slightly different widths and I could only put one or two boards on the infeed support at one time, the featherboard setting changes every time. I&#8217;m using the dark coloured featherboard in the mitre track just to support the back edge of the long featherboard which is actually supporting the work. The mitre track featherboard doesn&#8217;t work with the fence that close to the blade as the fingers are too long.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/outfeed-setup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-145\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/outfeed-setup.png\" alt=\"outfeed setup\" width=\"784\" height=\"588\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m using the sections of the strongback for infeed and outfeed tables to support the boards as I&#8217;m ripping them.
