Excellent featherboards
Works great, holds boards down while cutting and prevents any backward movement. Bought them to complement the FP1 after I wound up loving it.Couple of things to be aware of:First, the t-bolt heads are on the smaller side. Depending on your t-track, you might run into issues with the bolt coming out while you're adjusting the featherboard like I did. I swapped them out for some Powertech bolts I had on hand which are larger (33/64" x 7/64" vs original 7/16" x 5/64"). See attached images. The stock bolts are 5/16"-18 x 1.5" if you need to swap.Second, for the people from those other reviews that can't read, the FencePRO FP4 is for use on a FENCE with T TRACK. From the description:"T Bolts fit 1/4″ to 3/4″ T Track"Marking it down for not working in a miter slot is asinine. If you want a miter slot variant, buy the FP1.

Very easy to set up and is the best anti-kick on the market! I HIGHLY recommend!
Quality tool very well designed and easy to set up quickly! Works exceptionally well for anti-kick back - the only tool you need for this purpose - it far exceeds all the other types I have tried! All the BOW products I use work exceptionally well!

These accessories are high quality and easy to use.
I just finished a separate review for the fence which is top quality. For some reason, Amazon split my purchase into a review for the fence and a separate review for the accessories (feather boards and clamps). Of course, the fence is meant to be used with the accessories. The accessories are top quality, very sturdy and likely to give very long service lives. The accessories were easy to add to the fence and to the table of my Bosch contractor saw. From the design, it is apparent the fence should attach to just about any table saw fence. The system will definitely enhance safety, and the quality of cuts! One other comment....even if you do not want the fence, the feather boards would be a great addition to consider!

Does not fit all miter slots - so measure first.
Excellent featherboard, but needed to be altered to fit the miter slot on my Skil table saw. The supplied bolts fit a 3/4" slot, but my saw has a 7/8" slot. I couldn't find any t-bolts that width, so I ended up making a couple of shims. They hold securely, but it would be nice for Bow to supply slightly larger bolts. A bolt measuring 7/8th on one dimension and 3/4ths on the second would fit both the saw miter and t-track, but just turning it 90 degrees.

They work great!
These are a great help in my shop. I've tried the hard plastic feather boards, and made my own wooden ones, but these are much nicer. So easy to setup in different configurations. The knobs are comfortable and easy to tighten and I love the way the cams work to firmly lock the piece from moving backwards. The foam cams are also safer, with no worry of flying shrapnel if it touches the blade for any reason. Great product!

Excellent featherboards
Bought as part of the Extended fence set. These featherboards are the best on the market. I love that they have replaceable inserts in case you damage the feathers with your saw. Well built and a great design.

Tremendous product
Bow is a reliable company with truly well thought out products. I couldn’t afford the whole system, so I built the one you see pictured and still utilized their feather boards. It works great. The two feathers come with a longer t-bolt so you can stack them. As you can also see in the picture; I use their other board as well.

Best featherboards ever
I've bought cheaper plastic featherboards in the past, decided to give these a shot after seeing a YouTube woodworker recommend them. They are way, way better than the plastic ones, the foam fingers are easier to set up to give you the proper amount of pressure. Thankfully I've yet to test their ability to prevent kickback, so no input on that front. I've used them on my table saw and router table, absolutely recommend them.
