“I was amazed that even the "bolt" that goes into the T slot wasn't just a normal bolt but machined to fit perfectly. They work well and remove one complexity of accurate routing, making sure the stock is held down and against the fence. I have a Jessem Rout-R-lift as well and Jessem items are extremely well made for the $.”

“I got this because I have the similar ones for the table saw and they are great! But these...I just don't know. Maybe I'm just too used to having more control with hands and push blocks/sticks. These have to be set just right or it's hard to push a piece through. IMHO, they get in the way of using push blocks and sometimes even the push stick. I have the Jessem fence so it's a perfect fit. So that isn't the issue. I've been using them for couple of months now and I have to be honest, I prefer feather boards and/or push blocks for better control.”

“Yes they are a good accessory. The 5 degree angle keeps the stock tight against the fence and the rollers make sure the cut is a consistent depth. This lets the user concentrate more on speed control of the stock to avoid burning in Cherry and Maple. There are no free lunches here. The guides do not have the 'spring' of a featherboard which means slight inconsistent variations the stock thickness either causes extra effort to push the stock past the cutter or the urethane rollers lose contact. This of course happens when you have many individual parts that have been prepped in individual sessions with the jointer/tablesaw/planer combinations. Yes I will keep them and continue to use them as they are great for that final step in preparation using a router table. Rough less precision work will still use featherboards.”

“I bought these router table guides to replace the tedious featherboatd setup. Initially the router guides are not holding the stock. Upon further tinkering I identified that the T track on my router table fence is not flush with the fence so the angle of the router guide is changed and as a result the guides are not holding the stock. I added some extra washers to the bolts to make sure the angle of the router guides is parallel to the fence and the guides work like charm.”
