Hello Kenny, I own the micro jig Grr Ripper and in my opinion they are the best thing going in table saw safety. I did a review on them back in April of 2011 and purchased the tool shortly afterwards. Would I say buy one, most definately as it definately takes most of the danger out of the table saw cutting.

Thanks Jay, they look like a handy and safe tool.
Kenny they do make it safe, No sorry that I got mine. They were scarce when they first came out but finally there is several outlets for them. How are you and the family?

Jay, I just had an after thought. I viewed the video on the Grr-Ripper and they recomend using 2 units for the longer work pieces. Do you have a pair of Grr-Rippers and what is the longest workpiece that you have run through using only one? Can a workpiece of, well, let us say 48", be run through easily and safely?

Kenny I have two however hardly use two as I can run 8 ft through without too much trouble. If I was to run anything longer I would definately use two. If I was running alot of long 6 to 8 foot in a qunaity I use both.

you can find it in product review april 2011 Basically it is a high grade table saw push system for ripping. It can also be used on router tables shapers and the like. If the link does not work google mirco-jig grrriper

I'm just wondering what it is...
I've had one for a couple of years and have mixed feelings about it. First problem is they cannot be used with a blade guard or riving knife because they go completely over the blade. Your saw must be set up for non through cuts. Works pretty well on narrow pieces but I found I prefer cutting thin strips by doing the thickness reference on the left side of the blade instead of off the fence. Sure, takes a little longer but I'm more comfortable doing it that way. I do use the thing some for handling small parts on the router table. Bottom line for me was that it turned out to be a very expensive push block.
I picked one up last year at the Woodworking Show at the State Fairgrounds here and I've been very happy with mine. It has certainly given me piece-of-mind on the safety issue and allowed me to do some work I wouldn't have tried before, such as ripping some very narrow strips of wood.
I have rarely used it to rip anything longer than three foot or so. When I do rip longer items, I usually have a helper at the outfeed end helping. I don't have a full-size table saw, just an old Craftsman benchtop that I've tweaked with my own custom jigs and fence system.
For Technical Support, please call 800-447-8638 or send a message. Reps are available Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm CST.
I making a hex ring out of 2x4s ripped to 2 ¾ inches wide with 30 degree miters. What setting on the Jig should I used? 1 ½ is too much. Thanks.Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
