Enhance your woodworking safety and precision with this comprehensive 2-piece safety kit featuring a universal featherboard and ergonomic L-shaped push stick. Designed to keep your hands safe while delivering professional cutting results, this essential safety equipment works with table saws, router tables, jointers, and shapers for versatile workshop applications.
Complete Woodworking Safety Solution
This complementary pair of woodworking safety accessories was engineered to protect your hands and fingers while producing high-precision cutting results. The kit combines a multi-purpose universal featherboard with an ergonomic L-shaped push stick, providing comprehensive safety coverage for various woodworking operations.
Universal Featherboard Design
The featherboard features a miter lock system that works with any t-slotted or standard miter slot (3/4" x 3/8"), providing versatility for numerous woodworking applications. The flexible fingers apply consistent pressure to hold workpieces firmly against fences and tables, preventing kickback and ensuring straight, accurate cuts. Works horizontally or vertically depending on your setup needs.
Multiple Mounting Options
Includes complete mounting hardware for both vertical and horizontal installation. The kit provides miter slot brackets, t-slot t-bolts, special screws, stacking screws, washers, and spacers - everything needed to mount the featherboard in various configurations on different machines. This flexibility allows adaptation to your specific woodworking setup.
Feed, Secure, Guide and Control
Whether working with shapers, jointers, table saws, or router table tops, this kit provides the tools needed to safely get close to cutters and blades without getting too close. The featherboard maintains consistent pressure throughout the cut while the push stick provides safe control for completing cuts and handling smaller workpieces.
Ergonomic L-Shaped Push Stick
The L-shaped (V-shaped) push stick features a wide body profile (8.5" x 5.5" x 1") with impressive reach for maximum control. The large grip and ergonomic design offer optimal control, stock balance, and maneuverability during cutting operations. The extended handle keeps your hands well away from cutting tools while maintaining firm control.
Non-Slip Foam Rubber Base
The thick non-slip foam rubber base provides excellent grip on materials of all kinds, including rugged hardwoods, sanded surfaces, and composite materials. This secure grip prevents slipping during cuts, enhancing both safety and accuracy. The foam base won't mar workpiece surfaces while providing reliable traction.
90-Degree Notch for Corner Grip
Features a 90-degree notch inside the end of the base that accepts the 90-degree corner of your working stock. This design element provides positive engagement with workpiece edges, giving you secure control when pushing material through cutting operations. Particularly valuable for handling smaller pieces safely.
5-Star Threaded Lock Knobs
Equipped with two 5-star threaded lock knobs that provide easy adjustment and secure locking. The large knob size allows tool-free tightening and adjustment, enabling quick setup changes without searching for wrenches. The positive locking action ensures the featherboard stays firmly positioned during use.
Compatible with Standard Miter Slots
The miter lock system fits standard 3/4" x 3/8" miter slots found on most table saws, router tables, and other woodworking machinery. This universal compatibility eliminates concerns about brand-specific fitment, making this safety kit suitable for workshops with equipment from various manufacturers.
Precision Cutting Results
By maintaining consistent pressure and preventing workpiece movement, the featherboard dramatically improves cutting accuracy. The steady hold eliminates the vibration and wandering that produces uneven cuts, enabling professional-quality results on every pass. Combined with the push stick's controlled feed, you achieve cleaner, more accurate cuts.
Bright Orange High-Visibility Color
The vibrant orange color provides high visibility in the workshop, making the safety equipment easy to locate and serving as a visual reminder of proper safety practices. The distinctive color also helps prevent accidentally leaving safety devices on machines between uses.
Durable Construction
Manufactured from impact-resistant engineering plastic that withstands the demanding workshop environment. The featherboard fingers maintain flexibility through thousands of uses while the push stick body resists cracking from drops or impacts. Quality construction ensures long service life with proper care.
Prevents Dangerous Kickback
The featherboard's constant pressure against the workpiece dramatically reduces the risk of dangerous kickback - one of the most serious hazards in woodworking. By holding material firmly against the fence throughout the cut, the featherboard prevents the workpiece from being grabbed and thrown by the blade.
Key Features:
Perfect For:
Professional woodworkers, cabinet makers, hobbyist woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, contractors, furniture makers, and anyone operating table saws, router tables, jointers, or shapers who values safety and precision.
What's Included:
Featherboard Assembly:
Push Stick:
Applications:
Table saw ripping operations, router table edge profiling, jointer face jointing, shaper molding operations, narrow stock cutting, small workpiece handling, resawing operations, and any woodworking task requiring hands-free pressure or safe push control.
Installation Instructions:
Miter Slot Mounting: Insert miter slot brackets into tool's miter slot. Position featherboard at desired location. Thread lock knob through featherboard into bracket. Adjust angle and position. Tighten lock knobs securely.
T-Slot Mounting: Insert t-bolts into t-slot track. Position featherboard. Thread lock knobs through featherboard into t-bolts. Adjust and tighten.
Vertical Mounting: Use provided mounting screws and spacers to attach featherboard to fence or vertical surface. Position fingers to apply pressure perpendicular to feed direction.
Usage Tips:
Position featherboard so fingers flex slightly against workpiece - not too tight or too loose. Fingers should flex in the feed direction, never against it. Use push stick for final 12 inches of cut to keep hands clear of blade. Apply steady, even pressure when pushing material. Never force cuts - let the tool do the work at proper feed rate.
Enhance workshop safety and cutting precision with professional-grade safety equipment designed for serious woodworkers who demand both protection and performance.
