These push blocks are one of the best tools for saving those fingers and hands from spinning sharp objects. Plastic won't hurt your expensive blades and cutters,and the soft rubber foot won't mark your workpiece. They fit the hand very well and are comfortable to use. As one of the other reviewers noted, they don't fit on narrow pieces. So I bought 8 of em, left 4 of em stock size, trimmed 2 of em to 1" wide and two of em to 2" wide. Now I have a set for pretty much any application. You do have to be a little more cautious on the narrow widths, they want to rock, but with a little care they work very well. I use push sticks also and featherboards, but like being able to put downward pressure on the piece, especially on the small joiner.
Highly recommend these...cheap insurance and they work very well. |
