Damaged handle suitable for table saw Accessories

Looks good but the thread on one of the knobs is damaged so it won't thread into the screws provided. I will either look for a replacement pen or a whole new set.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Awesome Feather Boards

Really great value for money. Good quality and lots of features for every setup. I would like to point out that these are 5/16" screws instead of 1/4" which is what I needed. A quick tap on the threads with a grinder solved my problem.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Write Later

Powertec back to the rescue

Powertec seems to have everything I need, excellent quality and a very good price. I bought these and their longer version as pegboards to use with any tool at the store. Not only do they protect my fingers, but they look great doing it.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Secret

Nice perforated board, good quality handles, just a bit big.

Generally an acceptable fountain board, just a small problem, the handles are good but a bit big. When I use a 3/4 butt vertically on my fence, the handles rub against the wood when tightened. I can just sand them down a bit or make some smaller ones.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Nothing

Hardware 5/16 ", just not 1/4 "-20

Beautiful box, 5/16" hardware is useless on my Incra 37" Ultra fence, don't spend more $, need Hardware 1/4" You need to read the layers thoroughly before they say that if you want 1/4" you need to provide your own, after all most people use the 1/4" track so be it aware of the additional costs

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

I bought this for my table saw but it didn't work

I bought this for my table saw but misunderstood where it said it was a table saw guard. I've never seen a standard table saw fence that has a slot for something like this. That being said, I plan to use them for my router table once everything is set up so it's not a total loss.

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Not sure

Smaller spring boards for various applications.

I needed small spring boards to attach to my table saw and they fit perfectly in every way. You can make your own springboards if you'd like, but they're attractive and aren't likely to break with prolonged use, which is a common downside of homemade boards. Thanks to their bright orange color, they are also easy to spot among many other things.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
