Feature
●Like the original Hedgehog featherboard, the Mini Hedgehog is designed with a spiral shape with a single knob for quick and simple adjustments.
●Simply mount it vertically onto the fence of your table saw to hold down board and sheet goods when cutting rabbets or dadoes.
●It’s a perfect companion when mounted vertically onto the fence of your router table when routing an edge profile or when cutting a groove in a board.
●The Mini Hedgehog mounts to a standard 1/2-inch slot using the included 1/4-20 T-bolt. If your fence doesn’t have a T-slot, you can route a groove into a board at the appropriate height using a T-slot or key hole router bit.
●Includes 2 Mini Hedgehogs per carton.
●Designed in the USA by the owner of The Hedgehog brand and protected by two US patents.
Description
The Mini Hedgehog spiral featherboard has a unique spiral shape and single knob that quickly pivots into position for different board thicknesses. Traditional featherboards require you to stop what you’re doing, loosen two knobs, reposition the featherboard, and then retighten each knob.

Like the original Hedgehog featherboard, the Mini Hedgehogs 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 Mini Hedgehog featherboard improves safety by pushing the board tight against the table top which helps reduce kickback. |
The Hedgehog featherboard is made of toughened engineered DuPont nylon resin for strength and impact resistance. |

A:The body of the Mini Hedgehog is approximately 4.25 x 3.0 inch and is 1/2 inch thick. The knob is 1.75 inch diameter and the assembled Mini is approximately 1.25 inch thick. |
A: Yes! Simply disassemble the Mini Hedgehog, flip the body over, and re-assemble. If you have a 1/2-in T-slot on your router table, the Mini Hedgehog can be used like a traditional featherboard. |
A: The Mini Hedgehog comes equipped with a 1/4-20 T-bolt that slides into a T-slot on a fence. The head of the T-bolt measures 0.6 x 0.45 inch. The 0.45 inch dimension is the important one since it slides into slots that are 1/2 inch wide. If your fence doesnt include T-slots, you can route a slot into a board using a T-slot or key hole router bit and then clamp that board to your table saw or router table fence. |
A: The Mini Hedgehogs help to hold your stock down tight against the table saw or router table top. This is important to get consistent cuts that maintain the proper depth throughout the cut - e.g., when routing a channel in a board or when cutting dadoes and rabbets on a table saw. |
Yes, the Mini Hedgehog is adorable
The Mini Hedgehog is a 40%-scale version of the original Hedgehog featherboard. It has a similar yet smaller knob and rather than a miter clamp, it utilizes a 1/4-20 T-bolt to fit 1/2-inch T-slots.
