Magswitch Pro Table Featherboard

Great! I recommend to everyone

I have many Featherboards I use this one the most.

Works nicely. Can use it on any width wood. Great asset to my shop.

Best featherboard I've ever used. Easy to position anywhere on the table.

O.M.G. why didn't I get this sooner? What a huge difference and SSSOOO easy to use. I strongly suggest getting this simple and easy to use tool.

Worked as describe and makes the table saw much safer

The Magswitch ProTable Featherboard worked great. I use it to rip 1/2” sheet PVC into 1/2” strips. I set my rip fence at 0.45” and use the featherboard to hold the material against the fence. The featherboard didn’t move one time in more than 100 cuts! The magnets even held while setting in the kerf dust. Highly recommend!

Very strong magnet, it works great on the cast iron table top. The wings of my table saw are much thinner material and it affects the holding power but hasn’t caused any issues yet.

Performed as expected.

The feather board for my table saw works and holds great. Good and strong product.

Works great, large magnets on the base keep the feather board secure on the work surface. A great tool to have to make the cuts come out great. Also increases the safety factor of using the table saw, jointer or band saw. Highly recommend getting the Magnaswitch Pro,, with the smaller unit the magnets are half the size and half the strength. Just doesn't hold nearly as well as the Pro model.

It is easy to set up especially since you do not have to worry about the miter slot

It was a bit more money than I was wanting to spend as I have a Kreg featherboard bvut I have spoke with a few people who own Magswitch products and I figured what the heck and decided to purchase this. I am very happy with it, it makes setting up a breeze and I will buy more magswitch products if they are this user friendly!

I find this featherboard to be very easy to use, and I think that is key. If a featherboard isn't easy to use, it won't be used as much as it should.
The only thing I would have done differently is to spend the extra money and get a bigger Magswitch featherboard pack.
So, my next two purchases will be the Magswitch Vertical Featherboard Attachment and the Magswitch Universal Featherboard. But I can't recommend these Featherboards enough for work safety.

Works amazingly easy and improves table saw safety

Good addition to my table saw accessories

they work great

I was concerned that the magnets would not be strong enough, but they are quite powerful. Normal use will not make it slide. Setup takes just a few seconds. I should have bought this years ago!! Note: I use this with a Sawstop Pro table saw, so I have lots of cast iron table to place the magnets. If you have a very small table, or extensions that have holes, it might not work for you.

A revolution in featherboards.I was very impressed with the 'magswitch' featherboard, an excellent and ingenius tool for my shop tablesaws. What a time saver, no more clamping and having to place shim boards under my Delta saw, especially with the Biesemeyer fence rails to accomodate my shopmade featherboards. I also purchased the vertical attachment that goes with the 8" magswitch featherboard to make this tool even more versatile. What sold me at first was watching the Magswitch video with Lilly Jackson and Ted Brooks demonstrating this product.

Despite other positive reviews, I was reluctant to believe that it could be that easy and that strong.I was so impressed at Magswitch's performance on my table saw that it swayed me to get the Bench Dog iron router table. Yes, you can get it to slide if you really try, but I have put it on top of sawdust (not recommended) and it still held under normal use. I have put the magnets on top of the miter groove where I thought it would slip, and it held. One review complained that it took up too much room. I found the opposite, it works on rips that are too wide for my old feather board to work. I also have made great use of it as a magnet to pick up screws and nails that I have spilled (I am a clutz). Just hold the pile of nails over the container and turn the magnet off... so easy to use.

Easy and quick set up, very handy to use.

It performs just like I thought. I feel alot safer in my shop knowing my helper will have no reason to get his hands anywher close to any blades or cutters. I will order another one soon. Handier than a shirt pocket!

Like many great new things, once you've used this you will wonder how you got along without it! It's Soooo simple to attach to the table, and it's amazingly strong. Works better than I had hoped for. Along with the verticle attachment it makes all power tool operations far safer. One of the best shop aids I've ever bought.

I have the Pro version (30mm) and it is one of my favorite accessories and the first featherboard I reach for when ripping anything. As someone else pointed out, it requires a fair amount of room (width) to be used. But the holding power, the convenience, and even the on-the-fly adjustment (one handed) makes it a truly wondrous tool.The only time I can't use it are when the magnets fall directly over the miter slots (offset a bit still works fine), in which case I simply switch to the universal MagSwitch with the narrower profile. If you have a cast iron topped table saw, this is such a great accessory I couldn't recommend it more fervently. With the vertical hold down attachment, it becomes even more useful. With the new double-stack attachment (took ya long enough!) it works for tall stock or if you're beveling panels, for example. While it can obviously be used on anything cast iron, I find the Universal MagSwitch accessory has the flexibility to be on either side and is better suited for the smaller table areas or fences (jointer). However, the trade off is 20mm magnets, which don't hold quite as strong. So, for the tablesaw and longer/thicker materials, I really recommend the Pro 30mm magnets.

I am very impressed. It is far easier to set up, and as it attaches to the table via magnets it accommodates much wider stock than my miter gage slot feather board.

This magnetic feather broad works great, you can make better cuts when using a push stick.

Although it is a wide unit, my saws and jointer can take it just fine. The magnetic hold is powerful and quickly adjustable. Our main focus in the shop is safety first (there are four of us) and all like the ease and strength of the product.

Pros: Strong and well madeCons: Pricey Love this featherboard on my cabinet saw (lots of room to mount it). I bought the vertical attachment as well and using both together is really nice. I stick it to the side of the saw when not in use so it's always handy.

Pros: Well-made, strong magnets, easy to affix and release.Cons: Needs a lot of room to mount it. Of very limited use on a contractor's table saw, because this type of saw only has a small, solid table and open-type extensions. Magnetic featherboard requires a solid table under the magnets.

The magnets are very powerful, but the magnets are 6" left of the feathers so the featherboard is only useful for wood up to 2" wide on the left side of the blade before the magnets no longer touch anything. It won't work for edge jointing either because of this. I should have bought the yellow ones that have the magnet close to the spring.
