Push blocks are designed to be one of your essential safety devices to help provide protection and prevent your fingers from getting too close to cutters or blades on a router table, shaper, band saw, table saw or a jointer. Push blocks work well in multiple situations throughout your woodworking projects and are intended to be used any time your fingers are close to being in harms way. Push blocks can be used one at a time like when feeding stock through your router table or you could use two at a time for extra downward pressure when feeding stock through on a jointer. They also work well on band saws for re-saw applications and can also be used on shapers much in the same way they are used on router tables. This Push Block has been intentionally made in a bright SAFETY ORANGE color for high visibility when in use. This provides the user the ability to see exactly where their hands are at during the cutting or milling process. The bright SAFETY ORANGE color also allows you to easily find the device when it’s not in its normal location. The 3" X 6" soft, receptive, rubber sole foam pads line the base of the push block. The rubber soles make pushing and controlling your stock much easier and safer than doing it free handed. The rubber soles are easily washable with warm water. You must let the rubber soles completely dry prior to using them again after cleaning them. Each push block is made from a thick, injection molded polyethylene plastic that will not crack or shatter when dropped or if comes in contact with a blade or cutter. This makes ideal for workshop or wood shop working environments where things tend to go through natural wear and tear on a daily basis.
