The MicroJig GRR - RIPPER Advanced 3D Pushblock is an ultimate tool for woodworkers. It offers the same high - level precision, safety, and control as the original model but comes with two extra accessories for even better handling. It stands as the world's most advanced pushblock.
This pushblock provides three - direction force for outstanding stability, which is crucial for superior precision, safety, and control. Downward pressure keeps the workpiece steady on a flat surface. Inward pressure against the fence almost completely eliminates kickback. Forward pressure ensures a consistent stock feed during cutting, getting rid of burning and blade marks.
It's a great solution for avoiding kickback on table saws. Kickback happens when the workpiece moves away from the fence and gets stuck between the saw blade and the fence. The rear teeth of the blade can turn the workpiece into a dangerous flying object. The only way to prevent this is to keep full control of the workpiece throughout the cut.
With two GRR - RIPPERs, you can rip long stock continuously without stopping, significantly reducing burning and blade marks caused by uneven feed rates. The parts coming off the saw are almost ready to use, needing little to no extra sanding or planing.
**Using in Table Saws**: Built specifically for table saws, the GRR - RIPPER acts like a moving blade guard, protecting your hands from the saw blade during the entire cut. Right from the box, it can cut stock as small as ¼” x ¼”. Its three - way control makes your cuts cleaner and more accurate.
**Using in Router Tables**: On router tables, the GRR - RIPPER gives you excellent command over your workpiece. Whether you're using the fence or freehand routing, its strong grip controls the stock and keeps your hands safe from spinning bits.
**Using in Jointers**: The GRR - RIPPER's special Green GRR - RIP material offers all the traction needed to flatten stock on the jointer. Thanks to its strong grip, you don't have to apply too much downward pressure when feeding material over the cutter head. It makes proper face - jointing easy and safe.
**Using in Band Saws**: The legs and main body of the GRR - RIPPER maintain a 90 - degree angle. It can be used on its side, perfect for resawing on band saws. It glides on the tabletop and applies even pressure against the fence while keeping your hands away from the blade. Even pressure means less blade drift and smoother cuts.
**Included Items**: Main body, 1/2' Leg, 1/4' Leg, Center Leg, Handle, Balance Support, Hardware, Stabilizing Plate, Adjustable Spacer
Using the MicroJig GRR - RIPPER Advanced 3D Pushblock is easy. First, make sure you have all the included parts: the main body, legs, handle, balance support, hardware, stabilizing plate, and adjustable spacer. For table saws, place the pushblock on the table and start using it right away. It can cut stock as small as ¼” x ¼”. Keep your hands behind the pushblock to stay safe from the saw blade.
When using it on router tables, whether you're using the fence or freehand routing, firmly hold the pushblock to control the workpiece and avoid getting your hands near the spinning bits.
On jointers, the pushblock's special material will help you flatten the stock. Just feed the material over the cutter head with normal pressure; you don't need to push down too hard.
For band saws, you can use the pushblock on its side for resawing. Glide it along the tabletop and apply even pressure against the fence.
As for maintenance, after each use, clean the pushblock with a dry cloth to remove sawdust and debris. Check the legs and hardware regularly for any signs of wear or looseness. If any part is damaged, replace it immediately to ensure safe and effective use.
