I just found them today and they look really nice, they are a little pricy but they look like they would really work great.

The thing I really like is you lock the support down and then adjust the feather board, which is much easier then doing both operations at the same time.

They have a single and a twin pack for stacking them.

I agree, they look good. Can't see a price though. Looks like they would be easy enough to build your own.

Just looked and Amazon sells them for $22 a piece.

I don't have any trouble with using Bench Dog featherboards like that, but Woodcraft does not sell them anymore. I really like having them for the fence and the table as illustrated.

Looks like an interesting idea Bill. I wonder how hard that would be to replicate with a shop made solution?

Check Grip-Tiite magnetic feather boards. I like them better than the ones that go in the miter slot. Can stick them anywhere, fast. And they stick to the side of the saw, so it's always there. They also have a top hold down too. They do cost more than 22 bucks though.
