Hello all.
I have a number of spring loaded hinges if you can post a picture or two I would love to see how you apply them. Sounds like a pretty smart CONCEPT. Thanks Andy.

You can buy them from any hardware store. I actually prefer them to regular feather boards because they have more variability. for instance, if i'm truing up a rough piece of lumber on the table saw against the fence. The spring loaded hinges will still hold the piece against the fence even with the variability in the board width. A regular featherboard usually is worthless if your piece varies in width by more than 1/4 inch. I've used the system on my table saw, bandsaw , and jointer . The expensive part is the turn-lock magnets i use to hold the system to my work surface, but if you perminently mount them, you would not need the turnlocks . I'm sure you could use the same hinges mounted differently and mount some rollerblade wheels to them and get the same results for much less. Just a suggestion.
