I would add that there is little excuse not to have featherboards
available. They take a few minutes to make out of scrap and make
many cuts just so much more _convenient_.


Or you can *gasp* buy one. The one I bought is stackable, so I can
use it as either 2 featherboards or one tall one. Nice for resawing.


Best idea is to do both. You can buy featherboards that will
lock into the miter gauge slots on the tablesaw, which makes
them very convenient to use; and make several more to clamp
to the router table or a fence or other places where there
isn't a slot.

Certainly once you've used them you realize how simple and
effective they are for controlling the work.
