BOW EVA Featherboard Review: Right for Our Table Saw?
When we started looking for a featherboard that could move between our table saw, router table, and band saw without turning setup into a mini project, the BOW Products EVA Featherboard caught our eye. The non-marring EVA feels more like a grippy cushion than a hard clamp, and in our early tests it held stock confidently without leaving marks on softer woods. We also liked the AnchorPRO miter bar-sliding into the slot with a reassuring “locked-in” feel-and the tool-free adjustments made quick tweaks realistic mid-cut. BOW claims 5X kickback resistance, and while we can’t quantify that in a home shop, we did notice steadier feed pressure and fewer nervous moments. Replaceable feathers are a thoughtful touch for long-term use.
Hand-Shaped Table Saw Push Stick Review: For Our Shop?
In our shop, safety tools either earn a permanent hook on the wall or quietly disappear into a drawer. This hand-shaped table saw push stick—with its “missing finger” design—demands attention the moment we pick it up. It’s playful, sure, but the message is serious: keep our hands away from spinning blades. We’ve been using it across the table saw, miter station, and even the router table, and the broad “palm” gives us a reassuring, stable press when guiding narrow stock. The grip feels intuitive for quick cuts, though we still watch how it handles slick or dusty surfaces. If we’re choosing a Father’s Day gift that’s actually used, this one makes a strong case.
