Milescraft 1407 D/T Feather Board – Universal Dual or Tandem Feather Boards for Woodworking on Table Saws, Router Tables and Band Saws, Yellow

Used these to guide cabinet door and drawer parts through the table saw. They are a bit fussy in the set up requiring some unexpected fiddling but, once they're in, they're in. Got easier with more experience. Ended up with a safe set up that returned consistent results. Recommended. Enjoy!

Works great for re-sawing on my band saw!

Very happy with the set. This is a nice set of featherboards and even better is they double up easy. There are times when a single unit doesn't give enough hold down.The set come with everything you need. Nice they include two sets of miter slot slides. Should fit most any slot. The boards and the adapter are heavy duty. I have yet to use them, but I am sure they will work great. Set comes with all the bolts and hardware including turn nuts.Only thing I am not crazy about, but it is not a deal breaker.. is the miter slot inserts. The problem is the included long bolts have tapered smooth heads and the inserts are cast aluminum, so the bolts don't really "grab". You have to get them some what tight before you put them in the slot, other wise the smooth blots just spin forever. And I had to really crank down on them to get them tight and even then it wasn't super tight. Since the inserts are cast aluminum, I wonder if they will end up breaking because they have to be tightened so much. Then again, I put these on a Sears router table, so the slot might not be true to size.I personally prefer the plastic miter slot inserts that my Kreg feather boards come with. Not only does the plastic expand easier (get tight easier), but the bolts are also T-bolts, so they don't spin. If this product came with that set up, they would be 5 stars to me.As I said the miter slot inserts is not a deal breaker. I am very happy with the set and would buy again. Well worth the price.

I love my Milescraft Feather Board.Actually bought this quite some time ago but have been using it a lot.Most of the time it lives on my bandsaw as it is set up for resawing and this feather board has become an integral part of that process. Being able to stack the components is a super feature when resawing wider boards.This feather board has also been useful on my router table and table saw.Would buy again and highly recommend this for any woodworker.

I bought these because I have had featherboards on my "to-do" list for a long time. When my "to-do" list bubbled up a job that needed a bunch of drawers made I bought a drawer lock bit which requires running the sides vertically on my shaper so I had to build a high fence and for $30 bucks, this seemed like the way to go.. Should have made this one of my first purchases when I got the shaper...Even before bits!! Feels and works great. I haven't been using featherboards (real men don't use that stuff) and I am not sure why I still have all my appendages. Comes with two sets of expansion adapters to fit mitre slots in both the table saw and shaper and also everything needed to use with T-slots. Sets up in seconds and breaks down to two single featherboard so I can put one in the mitre slot and the other on the fence. Instructions are pretty good although it is pretty intuitive. I am impressed with the quality and price and am looking more closely at other Milescraft products. If this is an example of their quality I am sure I will be acquiring more from them.

Overall, I liked the feqtherboard. It was the first one I’ve ever owned, so I don’t have much to compare it to. Some complain about how stiff the feathers are, but I liked that and would rather they be that way versus too pliable. These seemed just the right stiffness to flex slightly without being brittle and breaking, and holding the stock tight to the intended fence. What I didn’t like, was the lack of smoothness when moving it from one spot to another in the miter track or when adjusting the depth. The one straight line combined with the S shaped cureved line was good in theory, but when the two featherboards are stacked for resawing, adjusting them with the longer bolts causes the entire unit to rack and pinch, getting stuck along the way, forcing the user to stop and unjam the piece. It definitely takes special attention and both hands to manipulate into position. For this tool to be effective, I think one handed operation should be paramount, or at least to get it roughly positioned with ease, while the other hand is on the stock or the fence adjustments or something. I think better designing and more appropriate hardware would eliminate this, but I found it to be more of an annoyance than a pleasure to use. Anything safety related such as this should be easy to use, or the user won’t use it.However, for lack of a better option, I could’ve kept it and used it, if it weren’t for my saw. Not so much an issue with this fewtherboard design, as much as with my saws design, because the feather boards expandable miter track bars are actually well designed with an aggressive milling or petina on the sides to give it grip. Unfortunately, my saw, the Dewalt DWE7480, has what I believe is an aluminum dipped plastic core table (hence the reason I couldn’t go with a magnetic feather board). The result of the milling on the miter slots of my table are such that there’s an ever so slight round over on the bottom of the slot, and they’re not perfectly square. They’re actually probably about 91°-92° sidewalks from the horizontal bottom of the slot. While I didn’t think 1°-2° would make a difference, what it means is that only the very bottom of the adjustable widening miter slot adapter for this fewtherboard actually grips. Maybe 2mm of it at best. This causes it to pop out with moderate pressure. That’s not the kind of reliability I want to have mid-cut from a safety devise that’s essential to my cutting operation. Again, this is more of a flaw on the Dewalt saws table milling, but something to consider for owners of Dewalt saws considering purchasing this, which could be a lot, since we can’t use magnetic fewtherboards.I gave it 3 stars instead of 5. I took off one star for the binding and pinching and racking when adjusting when using both boards stacked and one star for its inability to hold better into a miter slot that isn’t perfectly square. Sadly, I’ll be sending it back. I really wanted this to work.
