Abstract
A tension board comprises a bow member that can deform resiliently to apply lateral force to a workpiece pushed between it and the fence of a table saw, and that may have an associated tension gauge element. Combination tools may employ two bow members having different force-generating characteristics, an array of feather members, and a single contact finger.
Claims17
A tension board for guiding a workpiece across the surface of a cutting machine table, comprising:
- a body having means for mounting said tension board upon the surface of a table, and at least one resiliently deformable bow member comprised of a strip of material attached at opposite ends at mutually spaced points along a first edge of said body and projecting generally arcuately therefrom, whereby said bow member can deform resiliently toward said body to cooperate with upstanding structure on the table to apply lateral force to a workpiece pushed therebetween.
