Bow Products FeatherPro Foam Featherboard
FeatherPro Featherboard features EVA feathers which have revolutionized Featherboard performance and safety. FeatherPro is the safest featherboard available. EVA feathers virtually arrest kickback, something you don’t get from plastic feathers. EVA has slight pliability which combined with our patented living hinge design pinch the board against the fence and absorb kickback forces immediately as the board moves backwards. EVA feathers provides excellent infeed control for the cleanest cut. As feather tension is applied, EVA feathers lay down for greater surface contact holding wood secure against the fence and minimize wiggle. Even under high feather tension, wood feeds easy and smooth, yet firm. EVA feathers dampen vibration and will not mar even the softest woods. If these aren’t enough reasons to never use a plastic featherboard again, here is the next major advantage: If the EVA feathers make accidental contact with a blade or router bit, they cut through and can be replaced, no violent reaction. Plastic feathers can shatter and become dangerous projectiles that can cause serious injury, and your featherboard is ruined. And if you’re using cutters with carbide tips, they could be damaged as well. EVA is a high density closed cell material. Our EVA feathers are made from a unique blend ideal for woodworking and are extremely durable. Feathers are water jet cut for precision. Feathers are replaceable, reversible and interchangeable. FeatherPro uses our patented AnchorPro miter hardware that offers fast expansion set up and super strong hold in the miter slot. Also mounts to T-track. Comes with comfortable ergonomic knobs. No other featherboard protects you, your tools and your wood like the FeatherPro
