Review: It works and it works well - I slapped this on my bandsaw to do some resawing as soon as I got it, and it worked like a charm. I did buy the extender top piece as I routinely run larger pieces - my only gripe there was it was painfully difficult to swap the black piece - to me this is minor however as once it is in place you should be good for awhile - unless you damage it by hitting the blade or something. Make sure you look online to see the video on how best to use it, it will help. Go to Bow-Products.com and then find the Guide Pro, there are videos there to answer just about all your questions. Once you have it all figured out, it is simple to use. The black strip is firm and non-marring, I ran some rather expensive Koa through with the Guide Pro and the results were fantastic. The pressure it applies is constant, right down to the end of the board and the material it uses is such I am confident it will not damage my blade should there be contact. While using this I felt like the feed rate was slightly higher and I was able to maintain my focus on the piece and not worry about holding it firmly to the fence. Note, if you extend it a to near the end of the bar it becomes a little difficult to get it to "lock" firmly into place - the piece you are cutting essentially needs to be in position to help it hold steady. This is fine if you are working with something short, rather a pain if you are working with a 12' board in need of resaw. My only other gripe is the Guide Pro Anchor Bar is not included, for the price I think it should be. The bar should allow you to use the Guide Pro more effectively on your saws miter slot and also allows you to use the Guide Pro on your router or table or table saw (according to Bow). It is sold separately (again, it should be included in my opinion), With the price of the bar, if you buy the extender too, you are in around $125, I personally think this is a lot more than it should be, I figure you should be able to get all three for a single Benjamin. Also, you cannot (at the time I am writing this) buy the bar on desertcart, you have to go Bow-Products.com to find it. This said regarding the price, if you are on the fence at all just get the Guide Pro to start and give it a go, I think you will find it to be a great addition to the woodworking arsenal and should it prove itself to you, look at the other two pieces. Despite the price, if I had to, I would buy one again - to me it works that well.
Review: It works as advertised. - It really helps a lot when resawing. I feel a lot more at ease when using it.

## Features

- Precision Cuts: 6" vertical, silicon feather delivers continuous and consistent pressure along the leading edge of the workpiece for a clean and consistent cut. Flexible feather allows for variation in applied pressure. Perfect for cutting thin strips.
- Versatile: Flexible feather accommodates variations in shape and thickness of material and holds firm. Perfect for holding flat or odd shaped material. Works with fence and resaw guides. Base doubles as a square for setting the fence.

Simply position the GuidePRO with the feather in front of the blade, apply desired pressure as you push the workpiece as you move the wood forward to within a 1/4” of the blade, and press down the locking lever. Torque on the miter cam holds the GuidePRO in place. Your hands are free to guide the material through the cut,
- Non-Marring Feathers: Silicone feathers won't damage your work piece and dampens vibration. Feather applies side and top hold on small pieces. Feathers are replaceable if damaged.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What sets BOW Products featherboards apart from others?**
A: 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.

**Q: What is EVA?**
A: 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.

**Q: Why is EVA better than plastic for featherboards?**
A: 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.

**Q: How does EVA help protect your tools?**
A: 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.

**Q: How does EVA help prevent kickback?**
A: 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.

It really helps a lot when resawing. I feel a lot more at ease when using it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, but if buy extension not perfect
*by S***R on December 10, 2024*

Base model (this) great and a must have for ripping tall material. Only rated lower since extension does not positive lock in for ripping very tall material. Need to re-engineer both so lock together.
