Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milescraft 1407 D/TFeatherBoard Dual or Tandem FeatherBoards for Router Tables and Table or Band SawsCustomer Review: Works well, could be better Summary: 3 Stars
I needed a set of feather boards to help me rip some pine 4x4's down to 2-3/4". I decided on these because they come with two sizes of miter tracks, and I needed the 5/8" size to fit my benchtop table saw. The two other feather board companies I considered (Rockler & Kreg) offered only 3/4" bars.
Some reviewers noted that the bars were too wide. I took a chance anyway, and fortunately they fit (at least the 5/8" bars). The feather board plastic material is stiff, but worked well enough for its intended purpose. Stacking the two boards is done by screwing them onto a spacer. However, because there are no metal inserts, the screws will bite into the plastic spacer material when first used, so if you plan to frequently alternate between single/dual use, make sure not to strip the thread pattern by over tightening or cross threading.
When ripping the 4x4's, I stacked the feather boards, and noted that the unit as a whole tends to wobble after awhile so that the top fingers will not maintain the same pressure as the lower set. I had to periodically adjust and tighten the unit. Your experience may differ depending on the fit/tolerance of your miter slots (or how much your particular saw vibrates, in my case).
I also used them in single mode, and have no complaints there. They locked well and supported the work piece firmly.
