Magswitch Magnetic Featherboards & Workholding Systems for Woodworking

Magswitch workholding tools use a patented switchable magnet technology — the magnets are on or off at the turn of a knob, requiring no external power. This on/off control makes repositioning fast and eliminates the mess and time cost of traditional clamping methods. In a woodworking shop, Magswitch products mount to the cast iron tables of table saws, band saws, jointers, and router tables, providing secure, adjustable workholding wherever the tool surface is ferrous.

The Magswitch Workholding System Starter Kit is the logical entry point — it provides the core components needed to set up magnetic featherboards and stops on a table saw or router table. The 5 Pc Master Workholding Package expands that capability for shops that need a complete solution across multiple machines.

Featherboards, Resaw Guides & Specialty Jigs

Magswitch featherboards are the brand's most popular product category. The Magswitch Magnetic Pro Featherboards and Professional Table Featherboard apply consistent lateral pressure to keep workpieces against the fence during ripping and routing. The Vertical Featherboard Attachment with Risers adds downward pressure for operations where the workpiece needs to be held flat to the table. For band saw work, the Magswitch Resaw Guide provides a single-point fence reference ideal for following the natural drift of a band saw blade during resawing. The Thin Stock Guide Ripping Jig safely positions thin strips away from the blade during table saw ripping.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Magswitch switchable magnet technology work?

Magswitch tools use permanent magnets arranged so that rotating a knob aligns or cancels the magnetic field. When the knob is turned on, the full magnetic force engages the ferrous table surface — when turned off, the internal magnets counter each other and the tool releases. No power is required.

Will Magswitch products work on any table saw or router table?

Magswitch products require a ferrous (iron or steel) table surface to mount. They work on cast iron table saw tops, router table tops, band saw tables, and jointer tables. They will not mount to aluminum-top tools or MDF router table surfaces.

What is a featherboard used for?

A featherboard applies lateral pressure to a workpiece passing through a saw or router, keeping it firmly against the fence. This improves cut consistency, reduces the risk of kickback by preventing the workpiece from moving away from the fence mid-cut, and keeps hands away from the blade.

What is the Magswitch Resaw Guide used for?

The Magswitch Resaw Guide is a single-point fence reference for band saw resawing. Unlike a full-length fence, the point guide lets the operator steer the board slightly to follow the blade's natural drift while still maintaining a consistent cut thickness.

What does the Magswitch vertical featherboard attachment do?

The Vertical Featherboard Attachment with Risers applies downward pressure on the workpiece rather than lateral pressure — it holds the board flat to the table during operations like dadoing, routing, or whenever the workpiece needs to be kept from lifting.

How do I safely rip thin strips on a table saw?

Thin strip ripping is safer with a dedicated jig that keeps the workpiece against the fence and your push stick or hand away from the blade. The Magswitch Thin Stock Guide Ripping Jig positions on the fence magnetically and guides thin strips through the cut with consistent control.

What is the difference between the Universal Featherboard and the Professional Table Featherboard?

The Universal Featherboard is designed to mount in miter slots or on ferrous table surfaces, giving it broad compatibility. The Professional Table Featherboard is a larger, heavier-duty option designed primarily for surface mounting on cast iron tops.

What comes in the Magswitch Workholding System Starter Kit?

The Magswitch Workholding Starter Kit includes the core magnetic base units and featherboard components needed to begin setting up workholding on a table saw or router table. Check the product listing for the specific contents of the current kit configuration.

Does Infinity Tools price-match Magswitch products?

Yes — Infinity Tools maintains a price-match policy. See that page for qualifying conditions and how to submit a match request.

Where can I find guidance on setting up featherboards and workholding?

The Infinity Tools learning center covers table saw and router table safety and setup topics, including how to position featherboards for different types of cuts.
