Amazon.com Product Description
A featherboard is undoubtedly the most underrated router-table accessory of all time. When properly installed, its flexible fingers keep the workpiece pressed tightly against the router tabletop or router fence throughout the routing operation. The result is a dramatic increase in the accuracy, quality and safety of the cuts.Now many woodworkers make their own featherboards from scrap lumber, but here's a better, safer option: the Bench Dog 40-011 Feather-Loc Double Featherboard. This popular router-table accessory consists of not one, but two industrial-quality featherboards. The featherboards are made from a high-tech polymer and each one has 13 angled fingers that apply steady pressure that consistently produces cleaner cuts with less chance of kickback, chattering or lifting. The featherboards slide into miter-gauge slots in the router table or fence, and are locked in place by tightening a pair of knobs. Note that Feather-Loc Featherboards can also be used on a table saw, shaper, bandsaw or any other woodworking machine with a miter gauge slot. -- Joseph Truini

 Great accessories, if you read the directions September 17, 2009
Carlos Norton (Cupertino, CA USA)
I use these regularly on both my table saw and router, but mostly on my table saw. These items are sold as router accessories, so as other reviews have noted, the slider bar must be purchased to use them on the table saw.
The plastic bar that comes with these are to hold the items to the cardboard packaging. It is not meant to be used in a table saw miter slot.
The table saw bar has two ends. One end expands and the other does not. The expanding end must be installed on the in-feed side. When tightened, this anchors the bar in place. The non-expanding end goes on the out-feed side. This anchors the out-feed side to the slide bar.
I know we all just take the things off the card and throw away the card without reading the directions, but the card for the slide bar does give a description of how this device is supposed to be installed.
I have never applied more than 1/4 turn, probably not more than 1/8 turn, past finger tight and have never had a problem with slippage.

Works great if you have t-slots. Be nice if they would include a rail that would fit a miter slot as well. But does what they are supposed to do.

Never have I seen a 1/4" T-Slot. Guess I'm not the first to be taken by poor advertising. Guess they really dont care as poor reviews for some time now. Bought a crown molding cutter to use on hard maple. As I'm buying the cutter the Bench Dog featherboard pops up and I check it out and buy it. Didnt look close enough though, are you kidding me,never even heard of a 1/4" T-Slot. Stuck with it now. Lesson learned, will never buy from Bench Dog again. PS. When I bought my crown cutter it had in bold numbers 1/4" SHANK....1/2" SHANK....
 I agree with the other reviews. November 27, 2008

Update: Amazon has the Bench Dog 10-012 Miter Slot Adapter for about 10 bucks. I purchased it. It's some type of metal. Much better than the plastic that came with the set originally. It slides much better than the cheap plastic miter slot adapter. It should have been standard.
Once you get them setup for the cut, they work well. But as others have stated, they are not well thought out or easy to use. The black handle has stripped out from the bolt top and is now useless. I would not purchase these again. I think I can buy the replacement pieces to fix the stripped out problem but what the heck, I have only used them a couple dozen times and they need repairs?
I recently found some mag lock feather boards at Rockler (i think). I'll be looking for reviews on those.

I have a total of four Bench-Dog featherboards, two with the 10-012 miter-slot adapter. The 40-011 boards come with square-head bolts that slip into slots in B-Dog's router table's fence and hold the workpiece down to the table and into slots in the router table to hold the workpiece against the fence.
If you purchase the featherboards with the 40-012 miter-slot adapter they're easy to use in the table-saw miter slot of most saws. The 40-012 adapter uses a taper-headed screw to wedge the slider in the slot. I did have trouble keeping the featherboard from moving unless I over-tightened the knob. I sprayed graphite on the screw taper and this solved the problem.
I bought the two-pack for use with the Bench-Dog table-saw extension router table. I found that for best results, I needed two on the infeed side and two on the outfeed and quickly bought two more.
