Description
Microjig GB-1 GRR-RIP BLOCK Smart Pushblock
The Ultimate Grip for Absolute Control and Safety.
The Microjig GB-1 GRR-RIP BLOCK features the proprietary Green GRR-RIP technology, providing a commanding hold on hardwoods, composites, and even non-ferrous metals. Unlike standard push sticks, the GRR-RIP BLOCK utilizes a "pod" pattern that allows sawdust to escape, ensuring your grip never slips during critical cuts on your jointer or router table.
Equipped with integrated 90-degree flip guides, this smart pushblock allows you to transition seamlessly from flat-face jointing to edge-gluing operations. The wrap-around Auto-Safe Guard provides a physical barrier between your hands and the spinning blade or cutter head, significantly reducing the risk of injury while improving the quality of your finish.
Key Performance Features:
- Green GRR-RIP Technology: High-friction material provides superior traction; the pod-style surface maintains grip even in dusty shop environments.
- Integrated Flip Guides: Built-in 90-degree guides allow for precise vertical support when jointing edges or working against a fence.
- Auto-Safe Shield: A protective guard that drops down to shield your hand from the blade while acting as a bridge for thin stock.
- Ergonomic Handle: Angled handle design applies downward and inward pressure simultaneously, preventing workpiece lifting and kickback.
- Total Versatility: The preferred safety choice for Jointers, Router Tables, Band Saws, and Table Saws.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the GRR-RIP BLOCK different from a standard push pad? +
Standard pads use smooth rubber that slips when covered in dust. The GRR-RIP BLOCK uses a pod-patterned grip that displaces dust and Smart Hook technology that only engages when you need it, providing significantly more traction.
What are the flip guides used for? +
The 90-degree flip guides act as a fence to keep your workpiece square when jointing edges. They can also be used as a support when feeding stock vertically on a band saw.
How do I maintain the grip? +
Simply clean the green pads with denatured alcohol or warm soapy water. This removes fine dust and pitch, restoring the material to its original "tacky" high-grip state.
