Dual Featherboards
Jan 25, 2011
I designed this to help when I am re-sawing boards for box making, veneer, etcetera. Works quite well. It is hieght adjustable, therefor the wing nuts, and can be disassembled easily to use as two seperate featherboards. I had never seen anything like this until several months affter building it, then saw a commercialy available similar design. Looks like I wasn’t the only person with this idea, ha ha. Only cost me a couple carriage bolts and wing nuts, Jig parts from Rockler, and the rest is from the scrap bin.

I'm lovin' this idea. Looks like a good project for this weekend as I have a lot of cherry to resaw.
this is an awesome idea, l just paid $ 39.00 for a set of kreg duel feather boards.
I could likely trace the ones l bought to make simular to what you.
Thanks for sharing

Doesn't the pressure from the top featherboard, which is well above your fence, tend to push the stock crooked? Do you have the top featherboard offset so there is less tension on it?
The fence I use along with this feather board is not mounted on my band saw in this picture. The temporary, clamp-on fence I use is just ell shaped, about 6 inches tall, and supports the work very well against the dual feather board.
I would like to note also that the 5 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood in between are removable individually to raise or lower the top feather board as I like.
Nice work! Thanks for sharing. I will use this one :-)
