  • Patent number: 5148846
    Abstract: A workpiece guide to help feed boards into a woodworking machine such as a power saw. The guide is adapted to hold the board against the guide fence as the board is fed into the saw by pressing a knurled wheel down against the board. The wheel is slightly angled to move the board toward the fence and is pressed down against the board by a leaf spring thus keeping the board from riding up on the blade.

  • Patent number: 5123464
    Abstract: A board pulling device for use with a powered table saw or similar woodworking tool. The puller is readily removable and attachable to most similar tools and uses a novel springing roller to hold the work piece against the pulling roller. The puller is mounted so that it can be moved out of the path of the piece being sawed, or back into place to pull the work piece through the tool. Further, if desired, the entire device is readily removable from the tool.
