But does what they are supposed to do. Works great if you have t-slots. Be nice if they would include a rail that would fit a miter slot as well.
PS. Lesson learned, will never buy from Bench Dog again. Stuck with it now.
Guess I'm not the first to be taken by poor advertising. As I'm buying the cutter the Bench Dog featherboard pops up and I check it out and buy it. Never have I seen a 1/4" T-Slot.
Didnt look close enough though, are you kidding me,never even heard of a 1/4" T-Slot. When I bought my crown cutter it had in bold numbers 1/4" SHANK.1/2" SHANK. Guess they really dont care as poor reviews for some time now.
Bought a crown molding cutter to use on hard maple.
I think I can buy the replacement pieces to fix the stripped out problem but what the heck, I have only used them a couple dozen times and they need repairs. Much better than the plastic that came with the set originally. The black handle has stripped out from the bolt top and is now useless. It should have been standard.Once you get them setup for the cut, they work well.
Update: Amazon has the Bench Dog 10-012 Miter Slot Adapter for about 10 bucks. I recently found some mag lock feather boards at Rockler (i think). I would not purchase these again. I purchased it.
But as others have stated, they are not well thought out or easy to use. I'll be looking for reviews on those. It's some type of metal. It slides much better than the cheap plastic miter slot adapter.
I did have trouble keeping the featherboard from moving unless I over-tightened the knob. I have a total of four Bench-Dog featherboards, two with the 10-012 miter-slot adapter. I found that for best results, I needed two on the infeed side and two on the outfeed and quickly bought two more. I sprayed graphite on the screw taper and this solved the problem.I bought the two-pack for use with the Bench-Dog table-saw extension router table. The 40-011 boards come with square-head bolts that slip into slots in B-Dog's router table's fence and hold the workpiece down to the table and into slots in the router table to hold the workpiece against the fence.If you purchase the featherboards with the 40-012 miter-slot adapter they're easy to use in the table-saw miter slot of most saws. The 40-012 adapter uses a taper-headed screw to wedge the slider in the slot.
You want to take that chance. Bought this to be safe, instead it slipped while I was cutting on my table saw. The last thing anyone needs is a distraction from a poorly designed tool while your hands are a few inches from a table saw blade.
