Push stick
A push stick can be easily made from a piece of ply-
wood 19 mm (3/4”) to 25 mm (1”) thick.
Cut out the hatched area on the stick and smooth
edges with a file. (H) dimension should be less than
12.7 mm (1/2”) so as to be thinner than the workpiece.
Push block
Use a 19 mm (3/4”) piece of plywood.
Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten
with glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 9.5
mm x 8 mm x 50 mm (3/8” x 5/16” x 2”) of wood must
always be glued to plywood to keep the blade from
dulling if the operator cuts into push block by mistake.
(Never use nails in push block.)
Auxiliary fence
Make auxiliary fence from 9.5 mm (3/8”) and 19 mm
(3/4”) plywood pieces.
