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
3-30A 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.
 |
|
Figure
3-31. A feather board keeps the workpiece against
the fence so a groove can be cut in the edge.
|
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).
