My power feeder will allow many woodworkers to use a power feeder on tasks they never considered power feeder use as an option. This is especially true for use on router tables and band saws, where even the smallest commercial power feeder is often too big and heavy to mount on small machines.
It uses a brushless motor cordless drill as a power source, and a plywood gear speed reduction box distributes the drills power to the feeder's three polyurethane feed rollers at a 3.8 speed reduction.
Here's a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67d53pzsRQo
of the feeder in action, feeding 7.5" wide cherry for resaw in a band saw, and ripping 8' hardwood on a jobsite table saw.
