Purchased this after having had a board kick-back on me, which caused a huge & painful bruise to my abdomen. It was then that I "woke" to the realization I needed these immediately, if not sooner. These work very well.
So far these work as intended. Grizzly filled my order quickly and the items arrived in great shape. I would recommend Grizzly tools for anyone wanting to do great work with inexpensive professional tools.
Problem is that the Board Buddies do not lower easily - and sometimes at all - once they've been raised for a taller cut. I contacted Woodstock Int'l, the mfr, and they said it sounds like they are defective. Grizzly is taking them back and sending out new ones. I will say that, once adjusted for the right height, they work great. Looking forward to using a pair that is easily adjustable.
Product is good but was longer than my Delta saw. I had to ad about 5 inch extension on back of saw to attach back rail. Once that was engineered works fine.
I ordered board buddies after suffering pain from a kick back. The board buddies added safety features using a table saw. They also aid in getting good cuts by preventing stock from drifting away from the fence.
Have been using the board buddies for about a month and I really like them. no more having to watch and make sure the board is staying tight to the fence and no more concern about the left side of the ripe falling off only have to watch the right side. I believe this to one of the best safety features I have added to my saw and it was very easy to install. Would recommend this to anyone with a table saw.
I use board buddies at work and they work great so I bought a pair for home and I am glad I did.
