GRR-Ripper

[Racer3770]

For Sale is a gently used GRR-Ripper push block. I bought this on Amazon for $60 and I thought I would use it more.

$45 shipped in the US to a good home.

Not being cheeky, but why would I want one of those instead of the usual push-stick ?

I have one and the advantage is it controls the wood on both sides of the blade while keeping your hands clear. Especially useful for smaller pieces. I used for ripping 1/4"-3/8" knife scales from a 3/4" thick material.

It's actually kind of nice for flat work. You can apply pressure to the piece from three different angles against the fence without putting your fingers near the blade. It worked well for larger pieces. It didn't work as well for cutting slabs of alumilite (which is why I bought it haha). I only used it twice so it's pretty new.

OK, thanks .... I should have a look at the company website.

This is a very good tool, I have two of them. Use google to find videos on how to use and the benefits.

Interesting, I think mine is great for cutting PR blanks (although I usually cast cylindrical blanks), I wouldn't think of using anything else. The security you get from having your hand away from the blade and securing the stock on both sides of the blade is well worth what they cost. I've safely ripped 1/4" strips for segmented pieces and have also bought the 1/8" attachment for even smaller rips.
