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

Great product at a great price. Very adjustable and versatile and it's always smart to keep your hands away from the blade! Got this for my Microjig GRR-RIPPER PRO

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.

Fit right on my GRR-RIPPER.

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.

I have the gripper, just needed to replace the heel parts

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.

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

I think they are a little expensive for what they are.

Sem esse complemento fica difícil empurrar a madeira

Funktioniert super, sehr praktisch!

These "heels" are a very good improvement to both personal safety and control of the workpiece. This is because the heel does not depend on only surface friction to hold and control the workpiece, but rather positively engages the back end of the workpiece which forces it to move in sync with the GRR-Ripper with no possibility of slippage. This has huge safety benefits as well because it ensures that if kickback of the workpiece occurs, despite your applying hand pressure forward, the GRR-Ripper,and your HAND, will also "kick back"instead of falling into the exposed blade.
