I occasionally use featheboards on my TS, probably not as much as I should. The main reason I don't is due to the time involved in setting them up for each cut. It is a bit of a pain, plus I need 2 featherboards to hold the stock against the fence and it down on to the table.

So I am looking at 2 options and wanted your feedback.

The first is a set of board buddies. They seem simple to use, easy to set-up, provide some safety and should help when cutting plywood and larger stock. I can also use them on my router table. Can I cut thiner stock with these?

The second is the Grip tight magnetic featherboads. Seem very easy and quick to set-up (quicker than the board buddies). Can't use them on the router table or with larger stock.

So bring on the suggestions and recomendations. Thanks
