Save money and buy something else.

I've had it for about a year now and I'm not happy with it. I was rarely used. Why? Because it just isn't long enough! If I'm cutting a wide board on my table saw, I don't need a feather board. But when I'm adding padding or cutting a narrow piece, I want the feathered board to be easy on my fingers and keep the board pressed firmly against the fence. But this board is not enough. Not even close! This will require a length of at least 1 1/4 inches. Well to be honest I've used them a few times…

95% efficiency. Best Bandsaw Accessory

These are really good penboards. I really like that they have a double spacer for the taller parts. My only real complaint is with the included hardware. They include only one set of longer bolts for tandem mounting and are specifically designed for use with angled rails. T-track flanges are only available in shorter sizes. Since my bandsaw has a T-guide, I had to buy my own longer flange bolts (which, by the way, aren't easy to find in this size) so I can cut larger pieces. It cost me a dollar

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • No automatic controls

1 Serious lack of saw blades, parts and accessories

The only complaint I have is the S-curve design which makes it difficult to move. I think it was designed to give it more flexibility which has more to do with the nature of the board and not what Milescraft got wrong which is why I didn't deduct the extra star. The 1 star I deducted is more related to the streamlining in the T gauge. I have one of the most popular brands of table saws in the western world, they use the same gauges on all of their saws so it's not as though I would have a…

  • Confident
Cons
  • Nothing here

A few issues: The spacer is too high and WON'T WORK WITH DEWALT!

This set has two problems. I first bought them and was happy with them as I had a Delta table saw, but after replacing them with a new DeWalt 7491 I found them to be VALID. NOT WORKING. The angled slot doesn't widen enough to capture the track. Well, actually they each have two screws, and the one that goes into the groove of the long bevel stretches out enough to be gripped, and the one that "stretches" the shorter side of the bevel stretches it not enough out so it can be captured. In other…

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • boring packaging

Doesn't fit my accessories

I bought this in April 2018 (now November 2018). I was cutting a lot of wood in 2018 and wanted to use this on a bandsaw to help with resawing. At some point I will learn to give 2 and 3 star ratings here at around 95%. A small number of other reviewers said the plastic is very hard. That. If you don't believe me, believe them. The fingers are also very thick, which makes the situation even worse. A small number of other reviewers also noted that it's difficult to set up. That. Again, if you…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Great set of twin tips

Very happy with the set. This is a good set of pegboards and even better they can easily be doubled up. There are times when one device is not enough. The kit has everything you need. The good thing is that they include two sets of corner slot guides. Should fit in almost every slot. The boards and adapters are designed for harsh environments. Haven't used them yet but I'm sure they will work great. The kit comes with all bolts and hardware including pivot nuts. The one thing I'm not crazy…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Appearance

Doesn't hold well in the corner slots of a Dewalt saw table.

In general, I liked the panel. It was the first one I had so I don't have much like it. Some complain about the stiffness of the springs, but I liked it and would have preferred it that way rather than being too flexible. They felt stiff enough to flex easily without becoming brittle or breaking, and held the shank firmly against the intended stop. What I didn't like was the lack of smoothness when moving from one spot to another on an incline or adjusting the depth. A straight line combined…

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Disappearance
