Blocks Improve Clamping Area Under Cast-Iron Machine Tops
From time to time, I need to clamp featherboards and other devices to the top of my tablesaw and shaper. Both tools have cast-iron tabletops with ribs on the underside, which makes it difficult to find the right place for a large clamp. The simple solution for both machines is to glue blocks of wood to the underside of the tops to provide a level clamping surface. I used construction adhesive as the glue.
