<p>I own the Kreg push stick for years now and still have it close by, but I also own 4 of the Micro Jig Units that Ken has told you about plus accessories they are by far the most safest units I have ever used on a table saw and I will never use a table saw with out them near by. I know many of pro's and amateurs that have had hand surgeries due to table saws, </p>

<p>Keith,<br/>Kreg sells a Multi-Purpose Push Stick. Along with providing safety in the shop, it has a handy pencil holder and removable locking depth gauge. Thanks to its narrow construction and ergonomic easy-grip handle, this Push Stick works great, even with the smallest of workpieces.

<p><strong>TIP:</strong></p>
<p>When the cut is complete, shut-off the power to the saw, allow the blade to stop spinning, before removing the workpiece.</p>

<p>Use feather boards, to keep the workpiece firmly against the fence and on the table, when cutting.</p>
