A stock guide assembly guides movement of stock along a work table. The assembly includes a base and a roller operatively connected to the base to engage stock and hold it against the work table. In some embodiments, a biasing member yieldably biases the roller to urge the stock toward the work table and accommodate changes in thickness of the stock. The roller can be mounted at a skew angle to urge the stock toward a fence of the work table. The assembly can include a shaft movable with respect to the base for translationally adjusting the distance of the roller from the base and rotatably adjusting the distance between the roller and the work table. The roller can be rotatably mounted to the end of an arm oriented relative the work table so stock kickback drives the arm to pivot and drive the roller toward the work surface.

An adjustable hold-down shoe system having an assembly body, a plurality of hold-down shoes movably mounted to the assembly body, a body mount, and a lifting/lowering mechanism movably connecting the assembly body to the body mount that moves the assembly body in relation to the body mount and in a first direction towards the lumber bias surface and in a second direction away from the lumber bias surface. A method of modifying a trimmer system by operatively coupling the adjustable hold-down shoe assembly with the trimmer system.

A woodworking pushblock (500), including: a body (502) that extends along a longitudinal axis (508) and handle (504) disposed atop the body. The body includes first leg (506A), a second leg (506B), and a center leg (506C) disposed therebetween. The first leg, the second leg, and the center leg are each configured to abut a top of a workpiece. The first leg and the second leg define a first tunnel (520A) therebetween. The second leg and the center leg define a second tunnel (520B) therebetween. The center leg defines a center tunnel (520C) recessed into a bottom surface (506CBS) thereof and disposed between the first tunnel and the second tunnel.
