I do not understand how this can be used on a table saw. The blade guard would get in the way- and you must NEVER move that.

What are you going to put on a shelf that's 2 inches below the TV?

Why do single people who are not engaged wear them? They might have a boyfriend/girlfriend, but they aren't engaged. Does the thin black one have a significant meaning?

Thank you , I have 3 saws, gunk on all of them. My son will be coming soon to help remove a few fallen down branches. So having the right saws to get the job done, is a plus. Video helped a lot.

I need a replacement switch for a Tool Shop Rotary Tool

Just got mine today, I spend a lot of time doing home workouts and lifting... pretty cool and comfortable on my fingers.

How do I know if it's the right size? Should it go on and off easily? When sweaty will it come off?

Look like shit

I think it depends on what you are cutting. I have special feeder wheels, clamp on feather boards, push sticks, push handles and one of those Grr-rippers. And I use them all at different times. I think when you've been using your saw for a long time you just instinctively know which method will work best with the wood size you are cutting.

Don't agree. Over 50 years experience. Two stick method is asking for a kickback because of possible material lift. I know because it happened to me more than once. The J Heist style of one one the similar designs or the GRR-RIPPER is the way to go.

Just like you I used it a lot at first , but not anymore. I now use the push stick that came with my saw.

Push sticks can still allow kick back because the tip of the push stick is the only force holding down the stock - especially if it's a thin cut , therefore letting the momentum of the powerful blade forcing the piece backwards. Set up time for the "Gripper" is worh rhe safety.

Maybe just do the safest thing and remove any unnecessary junk from your fingers while you're working with tools that are itching for you to make a small mistake? A silicone band can just as easily get your finger yanked into a bad situation. No actual tradespeople or potential life-partnersa, in any discipline that I've ever trained in, has ever worn any sort of of visual accent on their most important tools (their hands, if that's not clear). I don't know about you, but there's not a lot of single, potential mates hanging around my shop looking for non-symbolized crafts-people to jump on. Or maybe get a ring finger tattoo if it's really important to advertise that you're officially off the market, like the lifetime vows suggest. Anything else is just frippery that has no place in a real shop.

What is the proper brushes for this machine?

I wear silicone band as well.

What type of screws did you used for mounting? I kind of want to use a color to match the iron pipe.

Why can’t any of you posters give a db. #

YES, anything MicroJig makes is worth the money. I have two grippers and I use them on the table saw and router table. It's safe and they work.

What would cause this unit to freeze

Will it pass HOA approval? Check first, or else it'll be one very expensive overlooked step if the HOA doesn't approve and you forgot to call them even if you couldn't find your HOA Rules n' Reg's handbook. There goes the vent, and the door. Check the regulations first. Good plan and it should work nicely, but like I said above, check the regulations first.

Do they still make these?

Sorry but cutting into your garage door is beyond silly. First off it's visible from the street. Secondly power cables are going to be an issue, maybe not immediately but sooner or later. A thrfough wall solution or even tying something into the eve vents could have been done. Worse case, a bathroom exhaust fan plumbed up into a roof vent would have been a better solution.

No it’s not worth the expense. It’s like buying festool or sawstop or many other extremely overpriced tools

Why not install on the wall? The doors do not seem like a long term solution. Hope you never have to change them.

thank you for the nice video

I cut Lot of quarter inch material and had the cheap plastic push stick explode when it hit the blade now I use the gripper every time be careful

tools were important for me, thanks!

Where can i get one of those?

Hi Anthony: great, great video! Have you found that Danish Oil (once dried) will not leave a residue on clothing, etc.? I'm thinking of using it on a large Black Walnut Bench; which I'm finishing for my grandkids! Thank you (in advance) for your assistance! Warm regards!

Looks so ugly :/

Shut up and do it! talk too much

No difference. The fans are to small to cool a garage.

Genius. I've been looking for a solution to prevent spilling my valuable Yuenglings. I think this is it.

I am so sorry to burst your bubble but I am in no way, shape or form to drill on a new 3k garage door. Thumbs down. All day

Admittedly, I'm a newbie woodworker, and safety is top-of-mind since I have little personal experience to rely on. Anthony, I came to the same conclusion about the gripper regarding hand-proximity to the blade. The gripper push block requires me to move my hand closer to the blade than the porter-cable-style push stick you demonstrated in your video. My Delta table saw came packaged with a push stick similar to your Porter Cable example. The Delta manual that came with my saw says when making push sticks, follow the included design, which ensures your hand will remain a safe distance from the blade. I see people run workpieces over the blade with the gripper, and their hand is mere inches from the blade. If the blade catches on the gripper, it seems likely the push block could twist sideways, and the blade could pull one's hand into it. Bottom line is the further my hand is from the blade, the better; and the long-handled push sticks keep my hand further away by design. When cutting a narrow workpiece, why not turn the board around, and run the narrow piece on the off-cut side of the blade? Narrow through-cuts between the blade and the fence will always carry extra risk of pinching and kickback.

That plastic thing is to expensive and make one better than than that I don’t know people are blind to expend money in micro gig 👎🥵

Do you have a video how to connect my windows 10 desktop to my cr-10 mini I am a complete new beginner Please help if you can

Ouch 😂 got to be a better way lol

I've had a grr-ripper for a few years, and haven't used it. I'm looking now thinking maybe I should. I use sticks like you do also. I recently remade a few of them as I'd cut them up enough so that the trailing hook was getting a bit torn up. I see your points. I do also use Board buddies for some cuts, and like them, but of course they can't really be used on those thin rips. I also love feather boards, and am trying to make a new one that will be able to use in my 1 1 /2" slot on my Oliver. (I like certain magnetic ones, but they don't work that well on my Oliver as the throat plate is so large that there is less space to place the magnets.... All in all, I'll keep looking. I LIKE the hook on the home made blocks, and the lack of that on the gripper bothers me a bit. I use the same pusher that you do for some jointer work, but I also make wide wooden ones with a simple 1/4 hook at the back that works very well. (I also have a stock feeder on one of my jointers that pulls from the out-feed table, I REALLY like that) I am going to keep experimenting. I've been cutting wood by myself with power machinery for over 60 years. Old habits are hard to change, but as I get older, I also need to make new habits.

I own one and am not impressed...at all. It's a constant pain in the arse to stop and adjust,, you can't see the blade so you have to guess (could have easily made that section clear so you can see it) and it still doesn't really do the job, especially on smaller pieces. Hard pass.

I’m a Field Tech that works in different factories on industrial ink jet printers. Many sites not allowed to wear jewelry due to safety rules. So I bought some cheap ones on Amazon and going to see if they are allowed. Also a friend of mine almost lost his finger when he fell off a ladder and ring snagged. It just seems the smart thing to do these days. I’m going to have to see how these rings react with acetone and MEK solvents which my hands are exposed to daily. I’m going to find out real quick if they hold up.

GREAT video, hand-held video works great for me, can you recomend and all metal .4 extruder?

Thanks for your video. I'm sure the gripper is a good product but I feel like you do that I won't use the microjig because my hand is too close to the blade so i will cintinue using my long wood homeade push sticks as I feel safer.

I love my finger and want to keep them for many years. Micro jig, just use it

I have a Grr-Ripper and use it some, but use the push sticks as you do more. It bothers me when I use the Grr-Ripper and it starts losing its grip and slides. Keeping it clean is a must but when you think it is clean and it starts losing it's grip, it leaves you in a bad situation. The push sticks never fail. I use two, one to push the board through and like you a second to hold it to the fence or hold it down as it goes through the blade. Have never had any issues doing it that way.

Best review yet! Great product, but do you really need it for the type of work you are doing?

Man, I miss Menard's. Moved from Iowa to Pennsylvania and there's a huge hole in my heart.

I beg to differ. You got lucky with your hand cut. Your logic with the two sticks is flawed. When using that method, sometimes you need to apply moderate force. If you slip, your hand is going right into the blade. I’ve used sticks also and they are always slipping. If you think it takes too much time to setup the grr-ripper, you are most too likely too much in a hurry for safety in general. I have been using the micro gig stuff for years and it’s awesome! Just an example of how much in a hurry I am, after I shut off the saw, my hands are at my side until I see the blade come to a full stop. Then I give it another second before I reach fore the wood. Sometimes I feel my body wanting to grab for the wood early..but I don’t. So far I haven’t had any mishaps. Listen to what I am saying as well as other comments.

Your going to get hurt using chicken Foot push sticks they're bad for kick backs.

Steve Ramsey, I think that is his name made a push block with a 2x4. The back of the 2x4 has a catch on the back to hook the wood and separate handle screwed on top. On small pieces the blade cuts through the 2x4 and the catch in back. When the block is chewed up he removes the handle and puts it on another block with the catch in the back. So it is kind of like the gripper in use. a lot cheaper than the gripper.
