This well crafted and premium version safety orange push block & stick set includes 3 push blocks ( one long and two short ) and 2 push sticks ( one straight push stick and one v stick ). The push blocks ( often called push pads ) are essential for use on routers, jointers and table saws. The straight push stick is great for narrow stock or when space is limited. The V-shaped push stick ( sometimes called a V-type push stick or v-shaped putter ) is great when extruding, or needing to exert a more detailed control on your work piece, or if needing to get really close to the blade. Our exclusive woodworking push block and stick set is the perfect addition to any safety or woodworking tool set. Safety Through and Through Not only do they help keep your hands out of harms way, but they reduce the risk of kickback, often resulting in smoother cuts or general improvements in other applications, producing a more efficient and professional looking finish no matter how small or large the work. But essentially, they are used to help maintain a firm and consistent downward pressure on your stock or a more controlled ride through the cutting blade. Simple and Effective Use When the blocks are used at the leading end of your work-piece, these powerful, yet simplistic safety tools boast an impressive grip strength using its natural slip resistant rubber friction pads, and help prevent scratching. The sticks make it so much easier to push your stock safely through the blades from the rear when that direction of control is called for. Theyll make it much easier to hold and grip as you guide/push wood through the cutting blade, whatever your desired application.
