MICROJIG GRR-RIPPER Gravity Heel Kit, 3D Pushblock Accessories Parts, GRGH-040

Another great safety add-on for your GR-Ripper from Micro Jig.I have two complete GR-Rippers with all of the accessories. These Gravity Heels are a nice addition to the GR-Ripper to help push the stock forward. This allows you to concentrate on the cut instead of whether or not you have enough pressure on the stock to ensure proper feed speed.When "leap-frogging" the GR-Rippers they properly retract when the GR-Ripper is placed on the stock, and automatically drop into place when you lift the GR-Ripper, so that they are ready for use when you get to the tail end of the stock.Due to their replacement cost I am hesitant to use them as blow-out protection, so I have not used them in that capacity. Instead, I use their shape and size as a template to create a "sacrificial heel" out of scrap wood. I make a dozen or so of these at a time so that I have a "sacrificial heel" ready to go whenever I need one. Works great.

Excelente producto!! muy útil

Must have for pushing stock through the tablesaw, jointer and bandsaw. Easy to install and has several replacements. Must have for the Micro Jig Push Stick

This is a lot better than the stock heel but not as good as I hoped. I've usedthe GRR-Rip Block and I was happy with gravity drop heels so I decided to try the new gravity heels on my three GRR-Rippers. Apparently there's not quite enough gravity in my shop (It sure feels like there should be enough when I'm moving 3/4 ply). The heels won't always drop. All things considered, I think a trigger operated heel would have been better.I still believe the GRR-Ripper products are the safest table saw/jointer push blocks around. I use them for every cut possible because not only are they safer, they yield a better cut.I have a friend who thinks they are a gimmick so I just hold up all ten fingers - something he can't do.

Works good with the push block easy mount save your fingers

Since I mostly work with thin stock, I need to be able to push completely through the blade. The GRR-RIPPER does work great for pushing material and keeping it against the fence, but lacks anything to push the materal. These little plastic parts slide down when you lift up the GRR-RIPPER and hold on to the wood. They also don't mind being pushed right through the blade. I leave one installed at all times and this helps keep my hands away from the blade.

This is a perfect addition to my Grrr-Ripper wood push block.

This was the logical and next best improvement for their already great jig. Although the unit was already great for pushing your wood through your table saw blade, sometimes it just wasn't grippy enough to get the job done. These are great, expendable where your fingers are not. And, if you don't need it for a particular job you can simply loosen the clamping nut, lift it up out of the way and retighten the nut. They make a great jig and with all the replacement parts that are available for it there is no excuse for getting your fingers or hands anywhere near a spinning blade or cutter in your wood shop. They are worth having around the shop. Besides the table saw, their jigs are also terrific for the jointer and router tables, too. What are your fingers worth to you?
