Thanks Tomasz! I wanted a quick reminder to see if a featherboard would help cutting very thin strips and this was perfect. Bonus: I was wondering how to incorporate a router table into my workbench and noticed yours!
Thank you for watching 👍
Good video Tomasz, spot on with the position of the featherboard in relation to the saw blade.
These are great safety accessories, cheap and easy to make as you've just demonstrated. Tony
Well said!
Thank you Tony
Another good video, yes please show the video's for the fence and router featherboards.
Thank you. I will add to my video list😁👍
Defo want one for pressing down from the top Tomasz
Already on my channel my friend👍
Brilliant, Tomasz! That's the best way I've ever seen it be made! 😃
Thanks a lot for the tips!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Glad you liked it!
Be good mate
Had my first kickback incident today. Was trying to make some featherboards and stop blocks. Heard a loud pop and the wood went flying then immediate pain in my hand. Happened so fast I don't even know what happened but my guess is somehow the wood piece smashed my finger against the miter saw base. Icing my finger which is inflated and I have black blood under my nail and a small chunk of skin next to my nail was ripped off. I'm just happy my hand didn't come in contact with the blade.
Always use some push sticks or hold downs where possible to keep hands away from the blade. It can happen to anyone. Before each new cut I try it without turning on the blade to make sure nothing is in the way, check positions of my hands and if the material is secured.
Super film i bardzo fajnie ze pokazałeś jak bezpiecznie używać. Pozdrawiam cieplo
Dzieki wielkie 👍
An M6 washer under the bolt-head before the large washer would probably work to create the T-bolt (i.e. stopping the bolt-head passing through the large washer) - featherboard making with the spacers is clever . . . I made mine freehand and they're a bit variable!
In normal circumstances that would be the way to go, however in this case there is no room for that. When you put the washer is you get about 2 or 3 mm space to the T. The washer is about 2mm so you got only about 5mm to play with unfortunately.
Très bien, en plus avec les conseils de sécurité 👍🤗🇨🇵
Merci
Sylvie
Merci d'avoir regardé
Thanks, really appreciate your view, very detailed
Thank you for watching
Thanks for share this ingenious idea
Thank you for watching 👍
Thank you for another great video Tomasz
Glad you enjoyed it
I did reply to this yesterday, but must have forgotten to submit it :( ... how about 50 x 45mm long T-slot bolts for under £10 (excluding epoxy)?
M6 penny washer and a M6 roofing bolt works perfectly ... washer is 24.8mm in diameter so needs a small flat filed on opposite edges (which also stops it rotating in slot) and the cross part of the bolt head needs to be filed off ... a dab of epoxy to hold the two together and you have a cheap mitre slot bolt which can be tightened without pulling the bolt through the head.
Thanks again for another brilliant video :)
P.S. Connector bolts (for furniture) are cheaper and don't need to be filed ... I have a video of the above, search for "Cheap Mitre and T-Slot bolts"
Thanks Barry👍
Great information and a great idea.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant as always...
Thank you kindly
Great Video, I was actually researching featherboards to buy earlier today for my Rage 5s. I think I will go this way instead. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Thank you kindly 👍
Hey Tomasz, I really liked the simplicity of the design and method of evenly spaced cuts. I have been putting of making some of these but will follow your process to knock out two this weekend. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
Works better then I though to be honest 😅
Great tips thanks
Thanks for watching 👍
Awesome I have same table saw so will be making this for sure. Would love to see video for feather board for fence.
Cool, its added to my to do list 👍
would love to see a featherboard for the fence video,, subscribed today,, good video
Welcome aboard 👍😁
Here is the link from the fence featherboard

Great, I will be making one this weekend now, I have some old 10mm thick nylon cutting boards, think I'll use that as the material for mine.
That will work great
Another informative vid Tomaz. I would certainly like to see a vid for the Rage 5S fence. I have adapted my Rage 5 to incorporate a router station for my Katsu router following your video of that project. Thanks
Cool, it's on the to do list 👍
Top tutorial,thanks for sharing. Yes, I've already made a featherboard for the tablesaw, but would be interested in making one for the fence.
Thanks. Got that video made already its there for you to watch 👍
@@CasualDIY Cheers mate, I'll check it out!
There are ready-made bolts called Elevator Bolts. Might need to reduce the diameter of the head, but that is easily done.
Good to know that you 👍
A miter saw could use a hood and an additional bottom sawdust suction. Then there will be no need to cut in the mask.
с болтом и шайбой классно придумал
Works great 👍
Great Tomasz, very informative, particularly the distance of the feather board in relation to front of the blade.
Any update on your planned Re, review of the Rage5s?
Thank you. Yes that video is coming, I'm just trying a last idea I got for improving the dust collection on it. This week will be my last try. If it will work then I will post the dust extraction video first if not then the re-review video.
Hi Tomaz i notice you are using the original clearance plate on your Rage 5 table saw, i thought you made your own clearance plate.
I did, I'm using this as I'm experimenting again with dust extraction for the saw and this one has larger clearance so more dust goes under.
Yes i would like to see the fence feather board video as i have exactly same saw. Question for you though. My riving knife seems to be out of alignment because cutting on right side of the saw wood binds on knife on left side no problems Any ideas?
Yes, I was talking about this on my Tune Up Video I think. The bolt that holds the aluminium plate that hold the knife, you just need to try to tighten it bit more. It seems you over tightening the bolt but for me that worked. Sometimes you need to give it slack, sometimes over tighten it. But first of all take the knife out and check if its not bent. Hope it helps
another great video Thomas thank you im just asking were you get your epoxy from and what make
Thank you. I buy my 5 minute epoxy from Amazon, this is the one I have been using for few years now and it just works great - amzn.to/3Zu9dDG
Thank you. 😊😊
Good, informative video Tomasz, have you got a link to the 5 minute epoxy. Thsnks
Thank you, sorry for the late reply, here is the link to the epoxy I've been using for years now amzn.to/3CD72TO

Don't the washers spin in the 'T' track when tightened? Isn't MDF too brittle to keep bending? I like the idea of using the mitre saw to make the feathers
They don't spin, I think it because of the excess of epoxy on the washers. It's 18mm MDF so no issues with being brittle or any other issues. Works great, at the moment anyway 😅
High Tomas. I have a question about the stop start button on the evelution table saw.
I resently purchase one but there is no estop paddle on the new version, I think I remember you purchased an adaptor that stuck to the new version. If I am correct is it possible you could let me know where you purchased it. Thanks in advance. Rob.
Hi, no, my saw had it originally. I know you can get them on ebay. But how they fit and work I'm not sure. There is a Facebook group for Rage 5S table saw, I think the chap that makes them is on that group. You could join and pop a question there about it.
@@CasualDIY Thanks for your help I will check your suggestions, sorry if I miss spelt your name.
And no animals were plucked for this project😂🤣😁👍(Update .My new Polish neighbours are very nice.)😊
Lol 😆
Would it be better to use 2 feather boards, 1 before the blade & 1 after the blade?
No as then you are putting the pressure in the wrong place and may end up in a similar situation as explained on my video. Both pieces need to be free as they passing the blade.
@@CasualDIY
Ok, that makes sense.
I'm a bit of a lurker but love your channel. I saw an interesting 2 directional feather board and wondered what your version might look like ... ruclips.net/user/shorts7TaRZvnbilI
BTW a few weeks ago you asked for comments ... don't change! Please please don't start filling up your videos with arty B-roll mood shots, please stick to the wordwork, cut shots and close ups of how to actually do the carpentry are always welcome but save us from high speed repetitions or time lapse. Soundtrack would be cool ... IMHO you should ignore user preference, stamp your style on it and maybe make a personal quirk out of it ... "This was the song I had my first kiss to".
Hmm interesting set up I may have a go and try something similar.
Thank you for the feedback
mdf and five minute epoxy? you really just don't value your own life or the lives of your viewers AT ALL, do you?
Not sure what you are talking about. Still works great with no issues 👍
