 A good idea, but ...Nov 18, 2006
By Robert Schlenker
The tandem featherboard is a good idea and probably works well in T slots. Then the hardware provided could get a firm grip in the slot and hold the featherboard down tightly against the work table, which, in my case is the table of a 10" saw. Bench Dog provides an adapter to accommodate standard, ungrooved, miter slots but this adapter allows the featherboard to be only weakly anchored at best and often fails while work is in progress. When it fails, the featherboard lifts up in the miter slot, sometimes completely out of it; control over the workpiece becomes compromised and, in some cases, a dangerous situation arises as the user tries to cope with the workpiece and with the useless featherboard. On my table saw, featherboard failure is a more common occurrence than success, and, I have had to abandon use of the featherboard. As sometimes happens, a device that is designed to increase power tool safety actually reduces it. This is the case when this featherboard is used in a standard ungrooved miter slot. This leads to my 1 star rating. With solid anchoring I would likely give a 4 star rating.

product works fine, is a good solid little featherboard. Beware of purchasing as per Amazon deals with 2 single boards as the 2 single boards do not come with the piece allowing attachment to mitre slots of a table saw. Extra purchase and cost of the split bars allowing them to be used with table saw made it an expensive proposition, not a deal at all!
 Good product, good price, proper packaging, prompt shipmentDec 08, 2011
By Adam Dlutowski
I've been using homemade featherboards until now. This product offers versitility as well as good product design. My only additional request would be for longer bolts to use another spacer and featherboard on top for tall crown molding. Use these in conjunction with featherboards on the fence to assure workpiece stability when routing.

I bought these Feather boards for my router table to make moldings with an they work great. I also used them on my table saw as well and worked very well. They do there job holding the wood in place. I would highly recommend them. I think bench Dog make a great product. I would but them again if I needed more of them.

When you buy it, you don't get the accessaries. Then you find out that for almost double the price plus shipping, you can make it workable. This company is making a point of bait and switch. They intentionally don't offer a working product out of the box. Its like buying a coffee maker that doesn't come with a coffee pot. Don't deal with them.
It is a lot easier, with better quality to just make your own out of wood, that does a better job and you are happy with the result.
