Tools and Hardware Reviews of Big Horn 10225 Table Saw, Router Table & Shaper Featherboard 3 Piece Set
Customer Review: buy separtely!
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't buy this set unless you can't get the stick and block separately. The featherboard is complete trash and should be thrown away immediately. I haven't used the stick, though it looks like you could make a longer and nicer one in a few minutes. I do, however, use the push block all the time and have found it to be very useful. There are certainly applications were it doesn't work that a custom one would, but that's always the case. I can recommend the push block, could go either way on the stick and just put the featherboard in the trash and back away. Buy the other two separetly if you want them and save [$$$].Customer Review: Junk! Junk! Junk! - You get what you pay for!
Summary: 1 Stars
The featherboard was complete junk. I was able to 'assemble' it, and inserted it into the slot on my table saw. Each time I was about to run stock past it, it would come undone, come unassembled, or just not do what it was supposed to.If you buy this set, you will end a mediocre push block, and stick. The ones I have made from hardwoods are way better than these.
Customer Review: Non performer...don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
The gripping clamps do not grip the track in my Porter Cable table sufficienly strongly to make this a reliable tool. No matter how careful the clamps were placed and tightened, the featherboard popped off the tracks under the slightest load.Customer Review: Cheesy, even for the money
Summary: 2 Stars
This package may seem like an inexpensive bargain, but the items are all inferior, even in light of the price. The featherboard, in particular, is virtually useless. Given that, 7.50 each for a cheesy (and short, relative to a 10' table saw blade) push stick and block is kind of stiff.
I advise you to take a little extra time and find the individual components you need for what you are doing. This may be easier in a venue that contains a greater selection of woodworking items, or you could make them...
Customer Review: works fine
Summary: 4 Stars
The feather board is supposed to lock down in the miter T-slots with these flimsy square stamped 'nuts'. I couldn't get those to work, but the standard (non T-slot) method pulls a cone headed screw up that pushes the plastic out and this holds very well. The featherboard is not as strong as a wood one but it seems to hold pretty well, how much force do you need to hold the wood against the fence? (I'm responding to the negative reviews here). The push stick is a necessity for a table saw, the push block would be more useful for a jointer (which I don't have) than for a table saw, but I've used mine when dadoing small stock. Overall - happy with this starter set.
