Favorite Table Saw Push Stick

The push stick you use with your table saw is an integral part of the safety system that helps keep you out of harm’s way. As such, don’t take the lowly push stick for granted. There are numerous push stick styles and designs, some shop-made and others store-bought, but in my view, not all push sticks offer the same level of safety.

Pictured is the style push stick I’ve relied on for years. It’s made from 3/4″ hardwood plywood and is about a 12″ long and 6″ wide (from the bottom to top of the handle). I keep  a 3/8″ heel near the back on the bottom to hook the wood that’s being pushed along. I don’t apply any sort of finish so it grips well. I route a 1/4″ round-over everywhere except the bottom where it contacts the wood when in use. The grip or handle is angled forward slightly so my wrist is in a comfortable position. Those are the comfort/ergonomic reasons I like this style.

Required Steps for this Project

• Step 1: You can build it in two days with simple tools
• Step 2: Make precision plywood cuts with a simple jig
• Step 3: An old clothes iron works best to apply the edge banding
• Step 4: Measure three or even four times when drilling holes for the fasteners!
• Step 5: Drill the recessed holes for the tubing and then drill the holes for the threaded rod
• Step 6: Assemble the plywood panels, then insert the tubing and threaded rods
• Step 7: Apply two coats of urethane for a cola-resistant finish!
