Powertec time and time again

Powertec is now the first company I look for on Revain when it comes to appliance accessories. I've been a woodworker for over forty years and I don't skimp on quality, especially when it comes to safety.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No

Will not fit my Craftsman table saw

The only place it fits in the corner slots is on the back of the blade. I emailed Powertec asking if they sell additional parts to make it fit or suggest another model. A week later and with no response, I sent Revain back.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Disappointed - Power & Hand Tools

The product itself was very well made. He was more than I imagined. i love its color Unfortunately it didn't work with my 10" Ryobi table saw. The extension rods didn't go through the T-slots in the corner fence groove. They also won't extend far enough to lock themselves in.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Older Model

My first. Works as advertised.

What I want to know before I buy is what I will give to others. The T-bolts don't fit my rigid table saw fence. Screws 5/16 18. I attach by turning the side of the screw head to fit. The corner slot works when the screw is tightened and the head of the screw protrudes into the countersunk hole in the corner slot to tighten the fit. Pretty strong. I'm really worried if using the bolt will affect the grip over time. Take the long ones, I'm not sure the short ones will do.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • So far so good

Will NOT work with the Ryobi Milling Table

They are very well made with thick and strong hardware. So thick that the T-bolts will NOT go into the T-bar on the railing. Also, the pins are too high for the angle guide for the position you're guiding the part all the way in, so they slip out when tightened. However, they work very well if you clamp them. I will not waste time and energy returning them during the pandemic holiday season to help me make ends meet. Since many aspiring woodworkers start at Ryobi, it would be nice if Powertec…

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • Small Items

PERFECT! YOU MUST BUY THESE!

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN THE WORK: These feather boards have greatly improved the edges of my hardwood products. You get a snug fit and that reflects in your performance. In this video you can see how I cut out the pieces for a 38 inch sausage board. In the end I had no edge deviation when the hardwoods were stacked together. EASY TO USE: To be honest I don't know why I didn't buy it years ago. I am very happy with this purchase. Assemble the latch and it takes about 10 seconds. Align the black…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Fine
