Every figure below names its source. Each one is a manufacturer
specification read off the listing itself. The judgments are ours.
Three quarters of an inch
The mitre slot, published — the only slot size on either half of this shelf.
Which is what decides whether a featherboard is a tool or an object on a shelf. A
mitre slot is a channel in a cast iron table, and the American standard is 3/4
inch wide by 3/8 deep; European tables vary, and many are 19 mm (0.75 in) or a proprietary
profile.
The published Milescraft set on this shelf has the same requirement and names the
gap instead: the featherboard needs a mitre slot or T-track to mount.
Publishing the number is the whole difference between the two pages.
Two blocks, two handles
The angled one is for a jointer.
Feeding stock across a jointer means pushing down and forward at once, with both
hands over a spinning cutterhead — and an angled handle keeps the wrist straight
while the force goes down, which is what stops the hand dropping as the board
passes the gap.
The straight one is for a router table, where the push is horizontal.
It is a considered pair. The published Milescraft set here has one block and one
stick.
A magnet on the stick
A convenience with a known cost.
A magnetic push stick parks on the table or the fence and is therefore in reach —
which is the whole reason push sticks go unused: they are in a drawer.
What a magnet does on cast iron is collect steel dust, which sits under it and
scratches. The published digital angle gauge on the measuring shelf in this
catalog carries the identical note in its cons.
And they are consumables
Washable rubber foam pads and non-slip soles, and they get cut into.
That is the point. The published Milescraft page on this shelf says it in one
line: push blocks are consumables — you will cut into them, and that is the
point.
A block with a saw cut in it has done its job once.
