Old shop partner,43 year kid bought him on last FD, took Pat 5 hours to put it together, and and other hour to figure out how to use it!!!! Freck, I through it away, "just be ware of your fingers" and use a push stick when needed. The "kid" lost some skin on a jointer, thats why he is a 40ish yuppie!!
Measure once, cut as many times as needed to get it right! Bob

WBB, I know it's different strokes for different folks, but I have to say this is one of the greatest safety tools I have ever purchased.

With all due respect, it doesn't take long to put together. It is much better than a push stick. I am able to do procedures on my radial arm, table saw, and SS saw, band saw, shaper, jointer that I wouldn't feel safe doing any other way. Specifically, I can cut thin slices of material along the fence where a push stick is worthless. Their support information via video is well done and is included on-line and on DVD with purchase.
Sorry, but on this item I think you are wrong. Next time don't throw-it-away, send it to me.

I couldn't agree more. I was convinced on this forum to get a couple of them. I did, and I don't want to go back. They don't do everything, but what they are designed to do they do very well. I agree, they are a great safety device!
JMHO
Oh, and thanks Joe for the heads up!

I've given them a thumbs up before and will do it again.
They are not cheap but they sure do work well in lots of situations where other methods are just not as safe. I mean it is hard to put a price on safety in the shop, for me I'm glad to have spent the money and have them to use.
I would also say you really need to get two of them.
If it takes you more then a few minutes to put them together then perhaps you need to consider if you should be a woodworker. And if you still want to be a woodworker you better make use of these, you are going to need them.
