Which safety measure can help prevent kickback on the Table Saw?

Using a feather board is crucial in preventing kickback on the table saw. A feather board acts as a support mechanism that keeps the material pressed against the fence as it is being cut. This adds stability and control during the operation, which helps ensure that the workpiece does not move erratically. When the material is held firmly in place, it reduces the chances of it falling into the blade at an angle or being thrown back toward the user, which is what kickback typically involves.

This method not only enhances safety but also improves the accuracy of the cut, as it reduces the likelihood of binding between the blade and the workpiece. Implementing a feather board in your cutting setup is a proactive measure to enhance both safety and cutting performance on the table saw.
