We’ve had Pottzy’s MICROJIG GRR-RIP BLOCK and my MICROJIG GRR-RIPPER, this MICROJIG is the Golgilocks cross between the two, for when it’s too complex or too limited.
Before I start my crapola, I only awarded this item 4*... only because I have the other 2 mentioned above, and I need to debate whether to use this or one of the other two... otherwise it'd get 5*.
The feet are arranged in such a way that you can alternate between the two sides to ensure you miss the blade,
There are markings on each end that indicates the position of the feet (white), so you can deliberately switch sides to miss the feet unless you have a morbid desire to cut them off… just remember they are not replaceable like the RIPPER.
Those markings have some sort of different colour coding on each end,
which I believe you can use that to serve some purpose, but if you wanna know, don’t ask me… RTFM! here MICROJIG GRR-RIPPER 2GO … I haven’t.
Similar to the other MICROJIGS, this jig has an angled, but non-adjustable handle
to coax the stock into the fence.
The doco brags it has 4 MATCHFIT dovetail groves for custom shop made accessories… you interested?... again, RTFM!
Though I have found the end grooves are ideal to add a “hook” on either end
but not at the same time… though you need to supply your own hook and hardware.
May the choice of which GRR you buy not cause you nightmares.
Thanks for reading…

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
yeah having the other two you mention i see no reason id ever have a need or want for this one. thanks for the review so i wont waste my money on it. but i always enjoy seeing you waste yours 😏
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
for router table/free routing manipulation, this little one is easier to handle than the other two under many circumstances. It fits some dimensions of timber better... much like there's always room for a push stick (different sizes/thickness).
Convenience is never a waste of shekels. I'd even sacrifice a , 1/2 , 1/4 , mouthful , small mouthful of cask-o-vino for convenience.

I've got one of these with the angled handle, but mine has drop down feet at the front, and back that are just loose, and gravity has them fall down, unless they are sitting on top of the board. Anyhow it is the absolute best Jointer push pad ever made. I get a bit wiggly with the "Gripper" idea, no guard and passing your hand over the blade. I'm a guard using freak, and I'll use mine. If that cutter is covered, you really have to work at it to cut yourself.
Saw that later. That one is a good tool helper. I use it a lot on my big bandsaw when ripping stock, and every pass on the Jointer. Mine has earned itself many times over, and nary a mark on it because it's so well designed. It just works.
Everybody including me waited years to get the kit here in Australia Its certainly not a waste if money in regard to spectator and user safety With is design and indexing its nailed it big time
Unlike you, some idiots couldn't wait and paid a small fortune for international shipping... No sooner you buy one, they or some other mongrel releases a better one.
