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

 Buy another featherboard that has two hold downs in parallel slots!!!! May 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These featherboards looked good so I bought. In use they are hard to adjust because the slots are not parallel and the bolts bind. Because the slots get closer as you move the fingers closer to the blade, the featherboard has more leverage on it and is not that stable. They should have kept the slots parallel
Also, featherboards only work when the fingertips are parallel to the fence and these are hard to adjust.
The other problem is only one of the bolt knobs actually cause the miter track to expand to hold the featherboard in!! This is the biggest problem. The other bolt only pulls the orange plastic down to the track but does not expand in the slot. So there is always some rotational play in the featherboard.
The bottom line is-- this is an expensive featherboard with two insurmontable problems, so keep looking.
 Essential tool for clean cuts March 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received these featherboards as a promotional item when I purchased a Bench Dog router table. As an accessory item they are invaluable when milling long, thin work pieces. In my situation I was fabricating rails and stiles for raised panel doors. If consistent even pressure is not applied when running the piece through the router bit, the end result could be an uneven cut, or worse, a ruined piece. I highly recommend that you consider using featherboards any time they can be employed. The design of this product makes it fairly easy to do so.
I also found that if you bring the featherboard against the work piece and tighten the trailing end, then roll it forward to create a slight deflection in the fingers, you will achieve the optimum amount of pressure. Additionally, if you want to mount these in the 3/4" miter slot of your table saw, you will need the Bench Dog 10-012 Miter Slot Adapter. Overall this is a well made product and a valuable addition to my work shop.
Very useful! March 9, 2008

My dad got these for his woodworking shop! He liked them so much, he bought more in different sizes!
useful when third hand not availbe January 18, 2008
Sometimes a piece is critical when it comes to the cut. The feather-lock keeps you piece secure against the fence as promised. I use this both for table and router saws. It leaves both hand available for feeding the piece. That way you can not only guide the piece better, but you can continuously feed it in order to avoid burning the wood (it matters when you expect to have an exposed edge but don't really need to plane it and also when you need the surface unburnished in order for glues to hold properly). For a lot of table saw work, the bench dog is overkill and is a loss of time.
Make sure to double check that the lock will hold. Sometimes it can seem to have locked correctly and then it'll slip when the pieces are fed through the saw. Took me a little while to get used to. I don't have that problem anymore.
 Deceptive....I agree November 21, 2007
I agree with most of the other reviewers. It is deceptive ...a "buy both" picture is not the same as TELLING you that you have to have the miter slot adapters for the majority of tables. They should give us all a $10 credit....ya, that will happen. UPDATE...GUESS WHAT? I JUST RECEIVED THE "SINGLE" FEATHER BOARD I ORDERED PREVIOUSLY AND IT HAD A MITER SLOT ADAPTER ATTACHED....AND IT STILL DOESN'T FIT MY MITER SLOT. ANYONE WANT TO LOAN ME A SURFACE GRINDER??? JUST KIDDING, I'M OFF TO THE BELT SANDER...HOPE FOR THE BEST.
