Yes they do, BUT not so well if the magnets happen to fall directly over
the miter slot, it is surprising how many times that happens to me.
Additionally the magnetic one that I use will not let a Gripper pass if
the Gripper is wider than the stock being cut and the stock is 3/4"
thick. I have to go to my wooden feather board which fits in the slot
and is less than 3/4" thick.


Someone sells long, steel miter slots inserts that lock into the slot
and bridge that gap for magnetic feather boards.

I'll have to find the link for these, I was going to get some but the
move made me forget.
