I solved the "reset feather boards each time problem" by pivitoting the feather board to an infeed extension and attaching a bucket of water using a line through screw eyes to the feather board by way of the extended fence. The only problem happens at the end cut of the board but a clamp "stop" works fine there.. figure it will work even better with the milling of the strips..
