The Hedgehog spiral featherboard has a unique spiral shape and single knob that quickly pivots into position with one hand. Traditional featherboards require you to stop what you’re doing, loosen two knobs, reposition the featherboard, and then retighten each knob.
The Hedgehog's Benefits
The Hedgehog featherboard's spiral shape and curved fingers reduce kickback which is when the board is flung back toward your body. The board easily moves in the foward direction but not in the reverse direction.
The Hedgehog featherboard improves safety by pushing the board tight against the fence which helps reduce kickback.
The Hedgehog featherboard is made of toughened engineered DuPont nylon resin for strength and impact resistance.
FAQs
A: 3/4-inch wide x 3/8-inch high: The miter clamp is cast aluminum and CNC milled for tight tolerances and a precision fit. It is designed to fit 3/4-inch wide miter slots. If you have a 5/8-inch or metric miter slot, the Hedgehog miter clamp will not fit. However, a bundle is available that includes a 5/8-inch miter clamp: search for B09M2M53YK.
A: Yes! Simply disassemble the Hedgehog, flip the body over, and re-assemble.
A: The minimum reach from the center point of the knob (or center of the miter slot), with two "feathers" contacting the workpiece is 1-9/16 inch. The maximum reach from the center point of the knob (or center of the miter slot), with two "feathers" contacting the workpiece is 6-3/4 inch.
A: Holding the Hedgehog in your hand, tighten the knob A LOT. This will flare out the miter clamp. If that does't work, use a flat blade screwdriver inserted into the gaps on the miter clamp to flare it out. Go easy as it doesn't take much.

The Hedgehog is reversible to work on either side of a table saw blade (as well as band saw blades)
Sometimes you need to work on the other side of the table saw blade. Simply remove the Hedgehog's knob, flip the hardware to the other side and you're good to go!

The offset push stick keeps your hand out of line with the blade on narrow cuts, which enhances the safety of your saw. The featherboard works OK, but on my saw tends to rise off of the table surface as it is tightened down, which does not inspire confidence.
