Product Description

The Hedgehog featherboard is the only one that you can adjust with just one hand

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 Finer Features

Hedgehog prevents board from kicking back

The Hedgehog featherboard improves safety.

The Hedgehog featherboard is made of toughened engineered nylon resin.

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

What are the dimensions of the miter clamp?

Is the Hedgehog reversible to work on the other side of the fence?

What is the reach of the Hedgehog's feathers?

The Hedgehog is moving in the miter slot. What can I do?

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.

Pro Tip

Occasionally customers find that the Hedgehog is a little loose in the miter slot. There's a simple fix for this!

  1. First, holding the Hedgehog featherboard in your hand, tighten the knob A LOT. This will usually flare out the miter clamp enough to tighten it in your miter slot. If that didn't do the trick, try the following.
  2. If tightening the knob wasn't enough, insert the tip of a flat screwdriver into the slot in the miter clamp and twist to expand. It doesn't take much so go easy and repeat if necessary. If you overshoot it, you can squeeze the clamp back together with plyers and try again.

The Hedgehog resawing on a band saw

The Hedgehog is a versatile featherboard that is an excellent aid in resawing on a band saw. For even more support for resawing, check out the Hedgehog bundle that includes two Hedgehogs and a Tall Stacking Accessory: search for B08JD43ZWX.

The Hedgehog helps get clean, smooth cuts at the router table.

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!

I was making a cutting board that required ripping boards to thin strips. This thing is perfect at maintaining consistent pressure against the fence to get perfect cuts. Highly recommended and worth the price.
