BOW Products GuidePRO GP5 Featherboard for Band Saws & Vertical Resaw

Features

• PRECISION CONTROL FOR CLEAN CUTS: The 6-inch silicone featherboard for bandsaw applies consistent pressure along the workpiece before the blade, helping guide thin strips, resaw cuts, and varied material shapes while steadily dampening vibration.
• FAST MITER-SLOT SETUP: This BOW featherboard includes 15mm, 5/8-inch, and 3/4-inch miter cams for broad bandsaw compatibility. The sliding base fits tables with miter slots positioned 2 to 8 inches from the blade for flexible setup and placement.
• NON-MARRING SILICONE FEATHER: The flexible feather board grips flat, thin, or irregular workpieces without marking surfaces. It applies side and top pressure on smaller pieces, while the replaceable silicone feather helps absorb cutting vibration.
• BUILT FOR CONTROL AND SAFETY: GuidePRO positions the featherboard between your hands and the blade while holding material near the cut. The ergonomic handle and locking lever secure the guide so your hands can focus on feeding the workpiece.
• EXPANDABLE FOR MORE WOODWORKING TASKS: Pair GuidePRO with the Extension Kit or Anchor Bar for taller stock and repetitive feeds. The Anchor Bar also enables use as a featherboard for table saw or featherboard for router table workshop applications.

Description

At Bow Products, we strive to bring our customers creative new tools and a better safer way to get the most out of your work. BOW Products patented EVA feathers virtually arrest kickback creating the safest featherboard on the market. EVA (Ethelene Vinyl Acetate) is an industrial grade super strong material that is pliable yet has memory. It is incredibly durable, firm and has memory. A closed cell technology that will not shed or bleed color. Less rigid than hard plastic, EVA absorbs vibration will give before it mars wood. EVA will not mar even softest woods using high feather tension and the feed is firm yet smooth. It absorbs vibration and chatter for a cleaner cut. EVA will not bleed color or flake onto the wood and it conforms slightly to the wood for feed control. The GuidePRO Feather Board from BOW Products provides innovation to the woodworking industry. The flexible, yet sturdy EVA feather allows for a firm hold of the work piece as it passes through the band saw blade. The 6-inch high feather is versatile and allows for control when working with taller or odd-shaped pieces of wood. What sets BOW Products featherboards apart from others? The principal difference with Bow Featherboards is the use of EVA for the feathers combined with our living hinge feather design. These 2 features combined create safer and more durable woodworking products and accessories. What is EVA? EVA is an industrial grade super strong material that is pliable yet has memory. EVA closed-cell technology is firm, durable, and will not shed or bleed color. Less rigid than hard plastic, EVA absorbs vibration and will give before it mars wood. Why is EVA better than plastic for featherboards? While plastic feather boards can mar and damage soft woods, EVA is soft and strong enough to protect your workpiece. It conforms slightly to the wood for improved infeed control. EVA also absorbs vibration and chatter for a cleaner cut. How does EVA help protect your tools? If EVA feathers accidentally contact a blade or router bit, it simply cuts through without a violent reaction. It will not harm the cutter. Simply replace the EVA feathers and the featherboard is as good as new. How does EVA help prevent kickback? As kickback occurs, the EVA feather moves back and pinches the wood against the fence absorbing kickback forces until our living hinge stops it while the feather is at its furthest extension. This virtually arrests kickback, protecting you from harm. GuidePRO GP5 FeatherPRO FP1 FeatherDUO FP3 FencePRO FP4 FP5 Portable Featherboard
