Woodworking Jigs - Make Your Own Featherboards

Mark a 30-degree stop line
Mark a stop line parallel to the miter

Using a bevel set to 30-degrees, mark a line three inches in from the mitered end of the board, parallel to the 30-degree mitered cut. This will serve as the stop line while cutting the fingers of the featherboard with the table saw.
