• I agree with the other reviews.
  Once you get them setup for the cut, they work well. But as others have stated, they are not well thought out or easy to use. The black handle has stripped out from the bolt top and is now useless.

I did not use this often, so its not like it was heavily used - or abused. This is in a rarely used hobby shop, so saw very little action. These would last a week in a shop where they were used with any regularity. There has to be a better quality featherboard out there. I would not recommend this one - not even for a very light... more info
