  • Patent number: 7140286
    Abstract: A dual adjustable feather jig for simultaneously holding a piece of wood stock firmly against a stationary rip fence and against the top surface of a worktable. The feather jig includes a lower feather board with a ‘T’ in channel bar adjustably mounted on the bottom surface of the lower feather board to laterally adjust the lower feather board over the worktable. Mounted transversely on the lower feather board is an upper feather board assembly that includes a vertical feather board to hold the wood piece against the worktable. The vertical feather board is connected to a slider arm that slides longitudinally over a riser block securely mounted to the lower feather board. Formed on the lateral and lower edges of the lower and vertical feather boards, respectively, are diagonally aligned fingers that press the wood piece against the rip fence and against the top surface of the worktable.
