Très facile à utiliser avec ma table de router et sur le banc de scie.

As usual Powertec serves up a good product at a reasonable price making this a high-value buy. I've been using their push stick and safety sets for years now with no complaints. I'm accustomed to hobbling together featherboard look-alikes to get through a variety of builds but now I'm up against a large kitchen cabinet/drawer job that is going to require something that will help provide reliable accuracy and repeatability. I was tempted to spend high but decided not to argue with the success I'm having now with Powertec. This featherboard set hasn't disappointed as it has performed well in the test cuts I've done so far and I'm not expecting any surprises. If I had to knock it, I must admit that it's a bit fiddly in the set up especially where the stock is tall but thin (3/4"). It's a bit difficult to keep everything aligned when using the boards in dual mode. I decided that the culprit is the round barrel like spacers. They're too small leaving quite a bit of featherboard cantilevered way out from the spacers' points of contact. I solved it mostly be removing the provided spacers in favor of using the extra set of miter bar slot brackets that came with the set instead. They are the same thickness but longer. Bingo! Much easier to set up and much more stable. Of course if your work piece is wider and the barrel spacers are mid range on the slots, you shouldn't need to go through this. The product build material is stout and will probably out-live me. I especially like the star style locking knobs much more than the batwing style that other brands use. A god-send for those of us with large, bony, arthritic hands. If you're thinking over time you will be needing featherboards in a variety of configurations, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get there with this set. It comes with plenty of knobs and hardware. The T-bolts are beefy at 5/16" with 1/2" wide hats. Those T-bolts work fine in my table saw and router table fences but they won't go into other brands like the Blue or the Gold that you may be using for miter saw station stops or shop made jigs over your fences. Those brands usually sign in around 7/16" in which case be prepared to grind or file them down which won't prevent them from working in the larger tracks. Let's not forget the safety sallies. I don't care what featherboard is used, its employment diminishes the chance of a catastrophic kick-back exponentially and the Powertec version is certainly no exception. To sum up, I'm pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to any DIY'er or enthusiast.

Ótimo

Me sirvieron bastante en mi sierra de banco, la madera se queda en el lugar y no se mueve, así que los cortes me salen mejor. Pienso que es un accesorio que todos Los carpinteros deberían de tener, ya que aparte de que te ayuda a qué te salga mejor tu corte, también te protege un poco de los "kickbacks" o patadas que te podría dar la sierra si mueves mal tu material. Recomiendo mucho ésta compra

It says it works with standard table saw mitre slots of 3/4 x 3/8. We'll that's what a dewalt jobsite saw has and the mitre slider bars just pop straight out. Useless. Will have to separately buy some proper mitre bars.
