Summary 

The Pro Vertical Featherboard is a table saw safety attachment which 

pushes the workpiece down against the table during feeding to prevent 

ride-up and kickback. Attach it to steel table saw fences between the 

low-friction guide faces and adjust the feathers vertically to compress the 

feathers against the workpiece. This is especially useful for thin material 

hold-down and ensuring consistent depth-of-cut when cutting grooves. 

 

Features 

 

Compressible gaskets provide excellent grip when magnets are 

engaged. 

 

Anchors to table saw tables or fences to provide downward pressure 

on work pieces 

 

Reversible for functionality on either side of the work piece (or fence) 

 

Broadly compatible with different fence sizes 

 

Multiple tools interlock together if downward force is needed at 

multiple points.
