Made this "feather board" for re-saw on bandsaw. Works good and handy when re-sawing a long board.


The pressure comes from spring hinges. The hinges maintain uniform pressure over a range of 1 inch which allows for lots of variation in wood thickness. The spring tension on the hinges is adjustable. The hinges are D&D Technologies TruClose® Gate Hinges, Model TCA3S3RC, available from Home Depot, Amazon, and others.
