The Gripper System - anyone used one
Hi. I'm pretty keen on safety (probably a result of having a father who can only count to 7 1/2 courtesy of a tablesaw). I have seen a fancy looking push-block thing called 'The Gripper System' advertised in the US. This is the thing I am talking about click here .
Has anyone used one of these ? Care to pass opinion on it? How do you rate it from a convenience and safety angle. Also, where did you buy it?
thanks
Arron

Never used one, but have heard lots of good things about it.
Not sure where it can be had in Oz.How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

Neil,
That should be:
'WARNING - Not to be consumed if you're planning to see retirement'
Bloody good stuff for cleaning drains though.

GRipper system
I bought one of these -its real name is the GRR-Ripper,
I ordered it from the U.S Manufacturer , website www.microjig.com.
Their service was terrific -it arrived within about 5 days of my order.
It cost me $120 AUD for the GRR200 model which has extra features.This also included a DVD instruction disc( US$10 extra) which has about 2 hours of instructions for use on saw, router and bandsaw tables. It will take me ages to use all the features but I think it is well worth the money -although I wish Carbatec etc would sell them here at cheaper prices.
It is extremely well made .
The website has lots of info on its use so you can make you own mind up before ordering.
