Magswitch Universal Featherboard PRO

The Magswitch Universal Featherboard PRO really ups the ante set forth by Magswitch's previous standard model—which was already pretty impressive. It still has all the features of the original, but adds key components dramatically improving its operation. The PRO model comes with a wider magnetic base giving it more holding power than the original, even when stretched over a miter slot. Each magnet is also accompanied by gaskets on either side. Engaging the mangets causes these gaskets to compress against the table surface, and the resulting friction further anchors the featherboard in place. Perhaps most exciting, however, are the independently adjustable smooth bump stops. Rotating the thumb screw located on either one moves the respective stop forward or backward. This action creates two separate secure reference points for the left and right sides of a cut, providing an excellent way to create perfect fitting crosscut slots and dadoes.

Key Features:

  • Wider Magnetic Base Maximizes Holding Power
  • Compressible Gaskets Provide Friction Further Resisting Slippage
  • Independently Micro-Adjustable Bump Stops For Repeatable, Perfectly Sized Dadoes and Crosscut Slot

Magswitch Vertical Featherboard PRO

When cutting thin pieces it can often be difficult to prevent them from bending up through the cut and lifting off the table. The same issue exists for pieces that may be slightly warped, or just not pefectly flat. This effect creates the potential for kickback and poor quality cuts. The Magswitch Vertical Featherboard Pro solves this problem. Attach it to the center of ferrous Biesemeyer-style table saw fences and adjust the feathers vertically to match the height of the workpiece. It can be paired with a second Vertical Featherboard Pro for downward pressure on a work piece before and after the saw blade.

Key Features:

  • Securely anchors to table saw fence, providing downward pressure on work pieces as they are passed through the saw blade, ensuring that thin material does not bend and lift off the table.
  • By pressing the work piece against the table, the Vertical Featherboard Pro also assists in maintaing uniform depth for non-through cuts in pieces which not be perfectly flat.
  • Reversible for functionality on either side of the work piece.
  • Configured to clamp to the center of a steel table saw fence or at any point on the steel table top.
  • Compressible gaskets provide excellent grip when magnets are engaged.
  • Broadly compatible with different fence sizes.
  • Multiple tools interlock together if downward force is needed at multiple points.

Featherboards are a safety accessory often used at machines like the router table and bandsaw. They eliminate kickback, reduce vibration, and keep workpieces tight to the fence. Start talking about using featherboards at the table saw and you get all sorts of opinions on how they should be set up. Using the right type of featherboard is key. With this in mind, Magswitch has introduced The Magswitch Pro Featherboards for the Table Saw.  These innovative tools provide versatility and peace of mind.

What is a Magswitch?

Magwitch is a company that makes all sorts of accessories that use a magnet-based system to attach to any ferrous metal surface like cast iron and steel. The magic comes from the switching system. By turning a knob or lever, the magnets are either activated or neutralized. This means you can position your featherboard or other accessories wherever you need. When you flip the switch, the magnets lock in place. The magnets themselves are seriously strong. Most have a rating of 150 pounds of breakaway (tension) force. The beauty of the Magswitch is they do not require a Miter Track or T-Track so they can be used where other featherboards and accessories can't.

The Magswitch Vertical Featherboard Pro, 100-629 can be used on any table saw with a steel fence. This handly hold-down can be reversed for use right or left of the blade.

Magswitch Vertical Featherboard PRO (100-629)

The Magswitch Vertical Featherboard Pro, 100-629 is the first featherboard system designed to mount directly to your table saw fence. It requires no mounting tracks, holes, or screws. As long as your fence is made of steel, the magnets will hold this featherboard securely in place. It is sized to be a perfect fit on any Biesmeyer style fence. With an adjustment range of +1.45" to -2.87" we were able to adjust the feathers to hold any workpiece up to 3-1/2" thick on our Sawstop PCS cabinet saw. It's also reversible and can be mounted on either side of your fence for use right or left of the blade. Keeping the workpiece flat to the table will improve rip cuts, and reduce the risk of kickback. 

The Magswitch Universal Featherboard Pro, 100-628 is very versatile. It combines two featherboards and two adjustable stops into one compact unit.

Magswitch Universal Featherboard Pro (100-628)

The Magswitch Universal Featherboard Pro, 100-628 is a dual-sided featherboard. It features extra-wide magnetic pads that allow it to be positioned directly over miter slots in your table saw's table without losing magnetic attraction or holding power. Because it is dual-sided it can be positioned either right or left of the blade. This eliminates frustration when trying to keep workpieces tight against the fence. When using a featherboard like this at the table saw it is important to position it forward of the blade, so that it does not cause pressure on the saw kerf. Positioning any featherboard parallel to or behind the saw blade has the potential to cause binding and kickback. Positioning the featherboard forward of the blade will make a big difference and improve cut accuracy.

The two adjustable stops can be easily set to make perfect-fitting lap joints.

The Universal Featherboard Pro also has a pair of micro-adjustable stops. These stops can be set up to 5/8" apart. When used with a 1/8" kerf saw blade you can make notches up to 3/4" wide. Each stop is spring-loaded and has a locking collar so no tools are needed to make adjustments. Because it is so easy to adjust, fine-tuning the fit of dadoes or slots is easy.
