Thumb-saving Push Stick

THE WINNER:

The push stick has been around for a long time, making table saw work safer. There are many types, but I came across a variation a while back that made so much sense I had to share it. By simply taking a traditional push stick (I use a two-sided version to work with different thickness material) and screwing a poplar block to the center, I made it even safer. The added block keeps your thumb from accidentally slipping toward the blade. Make sure you keep at least

1" of clearance between the blade and the thumb guard at all times, to make sure you don't accidentally rock the push stick into the blade. You can easily adjust the size and shape of this push stick to match your preferred style, but adding a simple thumb rest makes me more comfortable when working on the table saw.
