CONSTRUCTING
A PUSHSTICK
When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a pushstick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be
made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in figure 2C.
Fig. 2C
The Pushstick should be made of 3/4 or 1/2 inch wood or a thickness less than the width of the
workpiece to be cut.
Figure 2C should be copied and scaled so the grids are 1/2 inch square. This copy can be used
to make your pushstick.
