[quote="rlkeeney"]I've been looking hard at these. I have read lots of posts here and in other forums, read lots of reviews, and watched all the videos I could find. I'm convinced. So far Amazon has the best deal I've been able to find. It's the GR-420 Pro Model that has two grippers.

I found a host of videos on the Woodcraft site, many of these are on the CD that comes with the GRR-Ripper. Here is the link: http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/200439 ... rmationTab Look for the video icon.

I don't think one needs a template to make the anti-tear out rear pusher block, but I am going to order the handle additions that distribute pressure more evenly. It looks too like it makes it easier to attach a bridge when using two Grippers.

Many Thanks for Asking.
