Which one should I buy first for a table saw?

Buy the GRR-RIPPER first. It keeps your hands clear of the blade on rip cuts, which is the bigger safety gap. Add featherboards when you want steady pressure against the fence.

Many woodworkers use both together. The featherboard holds stock against the fence while the pushblock feeds it past the blade.

Which is better for a router table?

The POWERTEC featherboards are the more natural fit for holding stock against a router fence. The GRR-RIPPER still works for feeding stock past a router bit.

Does the GRR-RIPPER work on bevel cuts?

Yes. It adjusts for bevel cuts up to 45 degrees, which the featherboards cannot do.

Is the GRR-RIPPER worth the extra money?

At $37.49 for one pushblock versus a two-pack of featherboards, you are paying for hand protection and angle control, not quantity. If safety on rip cuts is the goal, yes.

Will the featherboards fit my saw?

They mount in standard miter slots and T-slots, so they fit most table saws and router tables. Check your slot width before buying.

MicroJig GRR-RIPPER 3D Pushblock vs POWERTEC 2PK Universal Featherboard for Table Saw, Router Table, Router Fence and Band Saw

These do different jobs, so most table saw owners end up wanting both. The GRR-RIPPER 3D Pushblock ($37.49 at ChipsFly.com as of November 3, 2026) is the one to buy first if your main worry is keeping your hands away from the blade on rip cuts and narrow stock. The POWERTEC 2-pack featherboards are the better pick if you need steady hold-down pressure against a fence or for router table work, and you get two units for the price of one pushblock.
