I was initially hesitant when considering whether or not to buy one. The Lowe's had a sale on the push pads for $5/ea and I picked up a couple. I liked them immediately for use on the TS, router & jointer & soon after decided to purchase the Grr-Ripper Advanced Model (https://www.microjig.com/products/grr-ripper) despite wondering if it would be a PITA to adjust its use each time. Frankly, I was pleased. Getting used to it took a couple of applications, but it got easier & its safety features are good. I've used it on the table saw, router table & have learned to overcome its limited height capacity with wooden elevator blocks if needed. However, the 1/8" leg is vulnerable should one attempt to slice something to 1/8" thickness, or close to it. I tried this & apparently didn't hold the leg tightly enough against the fence. The leg was no longer 1/8" thick. So, I ordered a replacement & the CS rep actually threw in 2 extras. Now I have three 1/8" legs. How good is that!
Nevertheless, I'm going back to slicing off the end of stock so the thin piece is not between the blade & the fence.
Thoughts entering one's mind need not exit one's mouth!
As I age my memory fades .... and that's a load off my mind!
