Board Buddie Question

[SCOTT ANDREWS]

I Have Read Almost All of the posts that Mark Singer has posted about these and have one question.He suggests that you set the height of the wheels about 1/4" to 1/2"below the depth of stock.Does he mean 1/4" below the total thickness of the stock,or 1/4" below the top of stock.thanks for any advice.

My take on this was 1/4" below the TOP of the stock, so adaquate pressure is on the stock. Use your best judgement, I am using them on a contractors saw with a smaller outfeed table so more pressure on the wood works the best. Too much I think can be dangerous when pushing the stock through the wheels.
Hope this helps..

Scott,
Chris is correct. Too much pressure to overcome when pushing through as the board is contact with the wheel can be annoying. At 1/2" or 1/4" lower than the top of the board should provide ample resistance to hold the board from moving back....it also keeps it against the fence. Trial and error as you practice is good...see what works best.
