MagswitchDual Roller Guide Attachment for Magswitch Workholding System

Only thing I can complain about, is that the bearings have spacers that will limit the guiding contact this was meant to provide to the wood you're cutting.So, I removed the bearings, saw that they were marked as "608-RS" and did a Bing search for them. Purchased 16 on eBay from (usabearingsbelts) for $11.47.Only needed 14 to make the stacks all bearings, with no spacers and now it does an even better job of holding the material to be cut, snugly against the fence. I love this thing and would recommend it to my friends.

These looked like a great idea so I purchased the whole set. I do a lot of machine work and resewing, but found these to be far less useful then I thought. I did not want to rate them low because they are well made but I yet to find a good use for them. Maybe it's just me, but I went back to my old finger boards. These are to ridged, if the wood thickness varies just a little it can jamb you up. Finger boards just flex...

Wow! The first time I saw a Mag Switch I thought it was a joke. The joke was on me; these things really work. After seeing this work in a professional environment, I purchased the Mag Jig dual roller fence, two Mag Jig 150's, and the Mag Jig Universal base. The first cut I did was a resaw of an oak 4"x1" x 4' piece. It held it in place very well and kept my fingers a 'very' safe distance away. (With 150 pounds of force each, the Mag switch 150's are strong!). The final cut was so smooth, it needed very little planing and sanding. I have to tell you, it is worth its cost in accurate cuts, and a hundred times the cost of missing a finger. Note: I have all of my fingers and I intend to keep them!Since using this Mag Jig Roller fence system, I've made jigs for my Bench Dog 40-300 ProMax iron router table and Craftsman iron table drill press using the mag switch 150's. It makes having iron table tops worth the weight and extra cost. I am going to watch this company and see what else they come up with. In the meantime, I'm inventing more jigs.What was (is) confusing to me, what did I need to purchase a complete system?By the way, it takes a 40mm Forstner to drill a hole in wood for the Mag Jig 150, or it will fit snug in the universal base which has both 30mm and 40mm holes.

I bought this to use on the table saw for supporting a panel on edge. I was cutting a bevel for a small table top and this supported it well against the fence and before the blade.I actually use it most though for resawing on the bandsaw. It's pretty nifty. I align the guide so the bandsaw blade is between the rollers and push the workpiece through. It makes perfect cuts with a properly set saw and correctly positioned fence.Just be sure to understand this is a part of a kit. You'll need the base.

Works really well. The ability to adjust the bearings is pretty slick

This is a great fence, even if somewhat short. I was able to get the fence and the magswitch to line up 90 degrees to the table with zero problems. Just tighten the screws and it was done. I use it on my drill press, band saw, and table saw. The tables to the band saw and drill press are small, but this fits them for most operations. The rollers work well. I find that using it on the table saw as a second fence when cutting tall boards is especially useful.On the drill press the magswitch is back from the front of this fence so far that it often is off the back of the iron table; thus, it can't be used. As the fence is tall for a drill press I put if off to the side so the drill press handles can clear. I have to put a shorter piece of wood in front of this fence when drilling small pieces because the spindle hits the fence, thus some separation is needed. It works best on the band saw and the table saw.The magswitch is wonderful. Just turn the knobs and zap, it is set. Very easy to readjust. Great for guys with arthritis like me. Heavy twisting of knobs is painful. This isn't.AD2

Great Product

A sound idea very poorly implemented. Fit and finish very shoddy, if you want a modicum of precision. When paired with the magnetic base, both bearing nuts and magnet devices protruded proud of the device base. Had to grind the nuts, and use brass shims to raise the mags. Took an entire afternoon to make the devices usable for re-sawing, or any application, for that matter. Very disappointing.

A must for any band saw out there.

Prefer this over featherboard for re-sawing on a bandsaw.Wedges included to adjust a perfect square, but instructions lacking I think.Wing bolts supplied need a re-design within the wedge to allow bi-direction adjustment.Brackets supplied to allow use with starter kit. Stack kit not needed.Would like to see a fully integrated (stand alone) Magswitch version with micro square adjustment.Probably only usable on perfect DAR stock, as irregularities would cause issues.

Superb product, so easy to use, can't believe how strong the magnets are and how well they hold. Has certainly made a difference to the machining I do.

Attaches to the Magswitch baseplate (which you must purchase separately), creating a vertical roller-guide for resawing in conjunction with the bandsaw fence. Note, will only work with saws that have a steel or cast-iron table - aluminum won't work! Very solidly-built (if a little pricey). Nice add-on for your bandsaw.

Great product buy it safty first well wort the money
