Grooves
Grooves
are U-shaped cuts that are made with the grain of the wood.
They are made much like rip cuts, with the fence positioned
to gauge the distance between the cut and the edge of the
stock. Figure 3-30 shows a groove being cut in the surface
of a workpiece. A feather board mounted on a rip fence extension
helps to keep the workpiece down against the table.

extension to guide the workpiece, just as if you were
doing a ripping operation. (Bottom) Construciton details

To cut
grooves in the edge of a workpiece, position a feather board
in front of the dado accessory. Use a push block to move the
stock (Figure
3-31).
