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

Essential tool for clean cuts

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.
