Featherboard with large star grip screw and T-Nut

thingiverse

This is more a mashup to accommodate my needs than a true remix. It combines the awesome featherboard by MarcElbichon with the extra large star grip screw by pastaclub. What is new/different? - The original star grip screw is sized for M8, while pastaclub suggested scaling the model to fit M6 or other threads, which would also scale up (or down) the star grip itself. I wanted to use M6 while keeping the original size of the star grip so I redesigned the inner part of the star grip to fit M6. - Added a t-nut for the Bosch GTS10XC circular saw bench with two slots for flat (=3mm height) M6 nuts. - Added a resized version of the featherboard with rails that fit M8 screws or threaded bars. What do you need to print (for M6)? - TF_Featherboard M6.stl - 2 x Star Grip Screw - M8|6 - outer.stl - 2 x Star Grip Screw - M6 - inner.stl - T-Nut for Bosch GTS10XC.stl. Print this only if you own this saw or if you are sure that it will fit your machine. If it doesn't fit, you will have to use other M6 t-nuts! Assembly - Star grip screw: Use a screw with hex head (or a nut/threaded bar combination) of appropriate length, stick it through the inner part of the star grip and fix it with super glue (or similar). Glue the inner part to the outer part. Done. - T-nut: Push flat nuts (height 3mm) into the hex shaped slots on the flipside of the t-nut. The fit is tight so push gently. A vise might come in handy. Here is a video on Instagram where you can see the featherboard in action. Disclaimer If you print this model and use it, you do this on your own risk.
