MICROJIG GRR-RIP-BLOCK Smart Push Block for Routers, Jointers, Band and Table Saws, Woodworking Tool, Extreme Grip, GB-1, Yellow/Green

I have been doing woodworking for 60 years and can't adequately explain how much safer I feel when pushing wood through the table saw, router table, and band saw. This is so grippy, it is wonderful to use! I love the angled handle that helps hold work to the fence, as well as the drop-down hooks on the ends of the tool (which can be locked up out of the way). This feels good in the hand and is of really good quality. It is night and day better than other manufactured push sticks, or especially my fingers! Easy to use and takes an hour or two to make it an SOP every time! So now I own two!

Absolutely love GRR-RIPPER products! These make cutting wood safer, easy to use, very lightweight, & auto adjusts & are a must-have for woodworking!

If you ever have a weird feeling when you think of running your fingers across your router table or watch a video of some guy with his hand flat on a work piece putting a groove in the underside.... This is a tool that will remove some of that. This push block replaces your hand keeping the work piece flat against the table and flush to a fence if you are using one. Even if you have misjudged the height of the bit, you lose a little of the rubber rather than your fingerprints and frankly that rubber seems to hold things better than my hand anyway. It works just the way that it should. The little tabs drop into place to provide lateral stability and pushing power and lock away when not needed. Well made, sturdy but not heavy.

I bought two of these to use on a jointer (mostly) and on a router table. The attraction was the end stops that make it easier and safer to push the far end of a board through the jointer. The end stops work well, and the knobby rubber face of the push block grab the surface of the wood effectively. It's possible to lock the end stops up so that they don't get in the way, but it's not possible to lock them down, so in theory they could flip up and loose their hold on the end of the wood. The push block is fairly large, and for my purposes it would be better if it was a bit narrower and shorter, especially for use on the router table. However, the overall design is a definite improvement over conventional rubber-faced push blocks.

Great pusher. The retractable hooks at each end are very handy. The rubber is plenty sticky. Really controls the piece.

Safety first, another innovative item from Microjig

Works well. You can lock the feet up on one or both ends. The pad is very grippy.

This is a great push block it has decent economics and grips well to the material. These are my favorite blocks at the jointer.

Este es el segundo Gig block que compro por lo indispensable para rutiar la madera, muy efectivo y seguro de uso.

Perfect

Excellent quality and fast delivery

Si vous utilisez une toupie/défonceuse sous table ou si vous découpez des grands panneaux à la table, c'est indispensable. C'est très cher pour ce que c'est, mais c'est costaud et on ne plaisante pas avec la sécurité sur les machines.

Pricy…no, Very good value for money spent!
