Thread: Holding a small lath down on WC without losing fingers

I'm planning on making a 3 x 3 groove along the length of a long 32 x 10mm lath. I could use the router table but 3mm being the kerf of my saw blade it would be easiest to just use that (particularly since I have the WC all set up but the router table not).

I'll have to take the overhead guard off, obviously. I can hold use the finger fitted to the protractor to hold the lath against the fence. I can use the push stick to move the lath through. However, what do I used to hold the lath down onto the blade? In my experience, particularly bendy light stock tends to ride up off the blade. But I don't much fancy having my hands near an unguarded blade with only a very small workpiece in the way, applying pressure downward in the vicinity of the blade.

Is there a simple hold down jig anyone knows of (that could perhaps be fitted to the fence) to accomplish what I need?

thanks in anticipation...
