Q: How strong are the magnetic clamps?
Combined, the two clamps have a breakaway strength of about 190 lb on cast iron, enough to keep the featherboard firmly in place during normal feed pressure.
03J7593 - MagSwitch Universal Featherboard
A combined featherboard and hold-down, the 7" universal featherboard uses two patented magnetic clamps (with a combined breakaway strength of about 190 lb on cast iron) to mount on any ferrous machine surface. Opposing rows of flexible fingers allow use on either side of a table-saw blade.
Each clamp contains two powerful rare-earth magnets. In the "on" position, the magnets align, instantly attaching. With the turn of a knob, the magnets counteract each other for easy removal or repositioning. It can also be attached to machines that have no miter slot, enhancing their safety.
Molded from durable ABS, this is a versatile machine accessory.
Color may be black or yellow depending on supply.
Combined, the two clamps have a breakaway strength of about 190 lb on cast iron, enough to keep the featherboard firmly in place during normal feed pressure.
Yes, the magnetic clamps mount directly to any ferrous machine surface, so it works on machines that have no miter slot at all.
Turn the knob on each clamp; this counteracts the magnets so the featherboard releases cleanly instead of needing to be pried off.
Yes, the opposing rows of flexible fingers let you position this magnetic featherboard on either side of the blade, whichever side your cut requires.
