I am now looking into buying featherboards for the router table. I never
saw a need for it with table saw or anything else, until I got the router
table (so it's gonna be for the router table). Browsing in Amazon.com, I
am surprised that the above link has so many negative reviews? I am just
looking for simple featherboards. I don't think I would want a Bench Dog
since it's looks big and bulky (not mentioning it's 3-4 times more
expensive?)?

I looked back when I was in the WW Show, they had those for $1.00 each! I
wish I took a handful of those (got into router table after the WW Show).

Will I regret for buying the above link, or even those $1.00 bulks? If
you know of better ones, let me know. But, hopefully it's available in
Amazon.com since I have a gift certificate that I like to use up.

=======================
I have been making sawdust for 40 years and my daughter gave me a
couple of Bench Dog featherboards about 5 years ago as a gift.

All I can say is I WAS A DUMB... HARD HEADED .. SKIN FLINT (cheap
guy) for not buying a couple years ago.... they are absolutely easy to
use and work fantastic.. so much better then any of the ones I had
either made or purchased that I have not once, not a single time used
one of the old ones since day one...

BTW: I use them on the tablesaw alot....

Just my opinion...
