A unique form of featherboard
When resawing, sustaining a constant feed charge and strain in opposition to the fence to create even thickness veneer generally is a actual problem. VAD Ideas curler guides, with a intelligent built-in spring behind the curler, may also help present that constant strain.

The power to double up the rollers with the accessible spacer applies strain throughout a wider floor space with out further friction. I additionally used a single curler with a spacer whereas resawing 7-in.-tall inventory with nice outcomes.
Despite the fact that they don’t have anti-kickback provisions, I discovered the VAD Ideas curler guides to be efficient on my desk noticed as properly, because it has T-tracks in each the miter slot and on the fence. I used one information mounted vertically on my desk noticed fence, holding the fabric to the desk with the second curler information to use strain to the fence whereas chopping lengthy bevels, the place a slight variance in strain in opposition to the fence or desk would have made the workpiece unusable.
I can see many makes use of, offered you might have the required T-track miter slot to use strain in opposition to no matter you need. I’m at present evaluating my router tables and scheming on how I might incorporate them there.
