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.
PS. Stuck with it now.
Guess I'm not the first to be taken by poor advertising. Guess they really dont care as poor reviews for some time now.
Never have I seen a 1/4" T-Slot. Didnt look close enough though, are you kidding me,never even heard of a 1/4" T-Slot.
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.
Lesson learned, will never buy from Bench Dog again. When I bought my crown cutter it had in bold numbers 1/4" SHANK.1/2" SHANK.
Update: Amazon has the Bench Dog 10-012 Miter Slot Adapter for about 10 bucks. But as others have stated, they are not well thought out or easy to use. I would not purchase these again. It's some type of metal. I recently found some mag lock feather boards at Rockler (i think). Much better than the plastic that came with the set originally. I purchased it. The black handle has stripped out from the bolt top and is now useless.
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. 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'll be looking for reviews on those.
I have a total of four Bench-Dog featherboards, two with the 10-012 miter-slot adapter. I did have trouble keeping the featherboard from moving unless I over-tightened the knob. 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 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.
Bought this to be safe, instead it slipped while I was cutting on my table saw. The last thing anyone needs is a distraction from a poorly designed tool while your hands are a few inches from a table saw blade. You want to take that chance.
