Thread: Feed Problems??

Peter I would suspect that you are not using any of the Triton feather boards (holdowns)? If you do then you would be just guiding the piece through and the featherboards with be keeping the piece agaist the cutter

Yes some feather boards or hold downs will fix your problem.

Peter, I think Barry and SilentC are on the money there. when youchange your grip yoiu are changing the pressure on the stock against the fence. Use the pressure fingers and allow them to hold the timber against the fence and table top then all you have to worry about is keeping a constant feed rate.

BTW, nice avatar, Peter

If you are using the Triton pressure fingers you may need to 'dial up' the pressure to keep the timber from flexing back. You are just feeding the timber thru', the plastic fingers are doing the positioning

At least you are not pushing too hard with your hands If the router table, insert rings and router insert do not line up perfectly level (a common event I think) then really leaning into the timber will cause it to flex, releasing pressure will let it come back leaving a bump - the opposite of what you have.

Thanks Guys,
I was using the featherboards but maybe as you say crank up the pressure,will try at next oppertunity
Doug after seeing your avatar I hunted high and low for another example of that incredible motion, not quite the same definition quality but I think it captures that hypnotic effect
