I use this on my table saw, router tabel, and band saw, but had to keep turning it over since work went different ways. Now I have one for each direction.

I got a book on how to work with a routing table. Featherboards were important tools to prevent creep and to keep the wood close to the bit.

Can this be flipped to feed in either direction? I would like one for a band saw, but the feed direction in the picture is for a router, table saw, etc.
A shopper on Apr 26, 2015
BEST ANSWER: This featherboard is not designed to be flipped, but I took a look at mine and see no reason that it can't be flipped for use on a band saw. The feathers are molded with open channels on the underside, but it doesn't appear that would affect the performance of the featherboard negatively if flipped over for use on a band saw. It can be clamped down when flipped over in the same way that it is clamped down as shown in the picture on Rockler's website.
How far do the feathers extend beyond the edge of the miter slot at maximum extension?
James L on Jul 4, 2015
BEST ANSWER: 5 3/4"
Do the knobs lock the featherboard in the slot or just adjust the extension of the featherboard toward the wood?
Kenneth R on Nov 20, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The knobs do both simultaneously. They lock it in the slot & clamp the feather board at the desired distance from the fence.
I cannot find my installation instructions. How does this thing install?
Jeff S on Apr 3, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Metal rods ride in miter slot on table surface. Featherboard sets on top and is held in place by screwing knobs into metal bars. Loosen knobs and, with piece of stock to be routed against fence on table table, snug featherboard up against stock to hold it against fence and tighten knobs to maintain featherboard pressure against stock. If using single featherboard, locate it on infeed side of router bit. If using on fence, bars should slide into slot on fence an featherboard should be adjusted to hold stock down against table.
What is the overall dimension of this featherboard?
A shopper on May 21, 2015
BEST ANSWER: 7" WIDE, 2 3/4" deep from the fins

I was so impressed with the table featherboard I purchased a second one. As usual anything I purchase from Rockler is of top quality. I will continue to buy my woodworking tools from Rockler.

Anyone serious about accuracy and safety needs a healthy stock of featherboards, and this particular item, on my 10" Craftsman 113, has me cutting paper thin slices of Ipe and Rock Maple with ease and complete control.

Even though I gave this product...
Even though I gave this product an excellent rating.(I own several) I was very disappointed in the fact that the brass insert in one of the knobs was to big for the 5/16 tap that they run through which made it useless. Fortunately I had an extra knob that I could use. I have purchased many,many products from Rockler over the years and this is the first time I have recieved faulty equipment.
