    "The GRR-RIPPER is an ingenius safety device from the folks at Microjig. Most power tools can injure you in two primary ways: kickback or blade/bit contact. The GRR-RIPPER protects you from both types of injury. It not only allows you to have better control of the workpiece, it also protects your hands should disaster strike. In addition, the GRR-RIPPER makes it possible to perform cuts that would otherwise be extremely dangerous, such as cutting odd shapes and thin strips." - Marc Spagnuolo, The Wood Whisperer

    I bought one of these years ago when they first came out. After using it one time, it became a $60 doorstop. I found it very tedious and time consuming to adjust. This jig is no different than the 3 other push-sticks you demonstrated when cutting long stock. The big downside to this jig is having to remove both the blade guard and the riving knife in order to use it. Fingers and hands are in peril and the possibility of a kickback is dramatically increased without the safety guards in place. Your push-shoe is the best of the 4 push-blocks presented by far. I sure do miss my $60!!

      Sorry to hear you feel this way. Had you contacted us back then, you could have had your $60 back. I will say that you are in the minority though. 80% of buyers give the GRR-RIPPER 4 or 5 star ratings, and as a 40 year professional woodworker myself, I wont work in my shop without them.

      @@MicrojigI just can't support a jig that requires the removal of the essential safety features of a table saw. Perhaps the 80% of buyers don't regard safety as much as I do. In the end each woodworker must operate within their own comfort zone.

      @@lesheinen6116 we would never tell you to not use any safety feature that you want to use. We will point out that any rip under about 1" wide does require the removal of the blade guard because it will not physically fit between the blade and fence. You also can't use the blade guard when making non-through cuts such as shoulder cuts and grooves. And any cut wider than about 4" can be made with the GRR-RIPPER and blade guard.
      Finally, I use the GRR-RIPPER on my router table nearly as often as on the saw, not to mention the bandsaw and jointer.

    What model saw is that? I'll have to study how it retains the dust so well. That's the dirtiest cut of them all and I didn't see anything. ( at 7:35). It's almost as if they have stopped the fan effect of the blade. Even with the best of dust collection, that's pretty remarkable. I'm still trying to make my sawstop PCS collect as good as I had my old Delta CS rigged to do. The Struuuggle is real!

      Ed, you CAN buy the deal through our website, but you will need to pay shipping, and that will not save you any money, Sorry.
      We do make most of these special deals available to our international retailers, so you may want to ask your local store if they are participating. If they are, you'll get the deal, if not, ask them why not!

    This is NOT a safety item. To use it you need to remove the blade guard- your primary safety device on the table saw. You should NOT use it- a hand held piece of plastic would never pass a risk assessment.

    Pretty ridiculous comparison of push sticks where you use one hand and then go to use the Grr-riper and you use the other hand to steady the work. Clearly this thing has its uses but to try and one hand the other methods to discredit them is dishonest.

      Bear in mind that this video was produced by Marc Spagnolo, so we did not have control over the content.
      You may disagree with his method (I use a GRR-RIPPER in each hand at the saw most of the time) but you cannot disagree with our results over the 22 years we have been saving fingers.
      We have sold hundreds of thousands of GRR-RIPPERs and our customer ratings are consistently 4-5 stars. They work.
