GRR-RIPPER Complete Double Pack Limited Addition by MICROJIG

Item as described , good quality...

general woodworking shop - table and band saws, jointer, shaper, etc.

I wanted the maximum protection for my fingers for various woodworking machines

The simple scrap wood stick of old has evolved into a complex set of configurable push-blocks. Used correctly this makes table saw projects safer and more precise. This is a nice addition to my home workshop.

These are great tools. After purchasing/using 1 for months, I decided to purchase this set of 2. Granted this set up comes with all the additional pieces the single tool doesn’t, still great tools. Used heavily for building cabinets, doors, French cleats, stiles & rails, shelving.

I love that my husband has these for improved safety when using his table saw. It really seems helpful in cutting down kickbacks and protecting his hands. Seems to offer increased control of a wide variety of woods and other materials. Well worth the cost to prevent saw related injuries!!!!

These adjustable plastic push blocks are designed to push stock through your table saw (and routers- which I don’t have) during rip cuts. They are well regarded in the woodworking profession. You can rip very thin cuts on thin stock using these blocks, but your table saw must have a zero clearance insert. The blocks reduce the possibility of fingers getting too close to the blade and kick-back. You position the blocks on top of the stock and push. The blade goes through an adjustable tunnel under the push block keeping your hands away from the blade all while maintaining pressure against the rip fence to avoid kick-back. The blocks require a dry-run, with the saw off, to make sure there is clearance for the blade. The blocks grip very well, (eventually the gripping surface can get filled with sawdust and lose grip, but there is a procedure to clean them and return them to full grip) having a special high friction material on them. This kit includes two blocks. Two blocks are almost a necessity for ripping long stock. With two blocks, you push/hold using one block and, when you push too far, you remove the first one and place it behind the second for continuous motion (there are demo videos on the website and Youtube). It takes some practice. There are lots of accessory attachments included for additional support for different sized stock. I highly recommend these.

I purchased the complete set. Yes it was expensive but so are my fingers. I havent use some of the accessories but the actual product is very well thought out and you can tell it has quality. If you can afford them I would recommend them for the novice woodworker (Im including myself in that description) or a Pro they are well worth the money.
