useful when third hand not availbe
Sometimes a piece is critical when it comes to the cut. The feather-lock keeps you piece secure against the fence as promised. I use this both for table and router saws. It leaves both hand available for feeding the piece. That way you can not only guide the piece better, but you can continuously feed it in order to avoid burning the wood (it matters when you expect to have an exposed edge but don't really need to plane it and also when you need the surface unburnished in order for glues to hold properly). For a lot of table saw work, the bench dog is overkill and is a loss of time.
Make sure to double check that the lock will hold. Sometimes it can seem to have locked correctly and then it'll slip when the pieces are fed through the saw. Took me a little while to get used to. I don't have that problem anymore.

Deceptive....I agree
I agree with most of the other reviewers. It is deceptive ...a "buy both" picture is not the same as TELLING you that you have to have the miter slot adapters for the majority of tables. They should give us all a $10 credit....ya, that will happen. UPDATE...GUESS WHAT? I JUST RECEIVED THE "SINGLE" FEATHER BOARD I ORDERED PREVIOUSLY AND IT HAD A MITER SLOT ADAPTER ATTACHED....AND IT STILL DOESN'T FIT MY MITER SLOT. ANYONE WANT TO LOAN ME A SURFACE GRINDER??? JUST KIDDING, I'M OFF TO THE BELT SANDER...HOPE FOR THE BEST.

Great Router Table Featherboard
I was a bit sceptical about getting these based on some other reviews..but I decided to buy them anyway, and am I glad I did.
I was expecting some cheap plastic featherlocks like another set I had...these seem far from cheap. Very rigid frame, mounts easily to my miter track. These just work well..so well that I ordered a second set.
I do not find the angled slots for the hold down to be troublesome at all like other reviewers mentioned. They adjust easily and quickly.
I also found that you you mount these in reverse (feather away from bit) that you can also use these as a stop block...very handy!
These work very well for a router table, if you want to use something with a tablesaw, I would highly recommend the "Mesa Vista Design GRIP-TITE Magnetic Table Saw Featherboard"
