Use a table saw? You need to make one of these...

and don't buy one!

It is a push stick to push wood thru the table saw blade, safely!

Without the fingers getting close.

Why do you need to make one?

Glad you asked, it is because you are going to run the push stick thru the blade sometimes while ripping thin slivers of wood (just like in the picture).

You don't want to a $20 push stick at the woodworking store just to end up cutting it and eventually needing to replace it.

They are easy to make from scrap wood and will save your fingers!

I like my handle much longer and the horizontal body thicker because it keeps my fingers away from the little bit of the blade that sticks through the top of the wood. Sometimes I have too much blade sticking through to make it easier for my weak old craftsman 113 table saw which makes the push stick even more important.

I have even seen push sticks in the shape of a fish when I was working in commercial woodworking. They had fun with them.

The best push stick... is a used one!
