What is the POWERTEC 72231 push stick used for?

It feeds stock through a table saw, jointer or band saw while keeping your hands away from the blade. The notched tip presses the workpiece down and against the fence.

The body is about 16-29/32 inches long, so your hand stays well back from the cutting area.

Does it work on a jointer and band saw too?

Yes. It is a general shop push stick, not tied to one machine, and works wherever you need to feed flat stock past a cutter.

A one-piece heavy-duty polypropylene body with a loop handle and TPR rubber foot pads on the tip.

Is it better than a push block?

A push block gives more downward pressure on wide, flat cuts. This stick gives more reach and control on narrow rips, so many shops keep both.

Our take on the POWERTEC Miter Saw Safety Stick

The POWERTEC 72231 is a manual push stick for table saws, jointers and band saws, made from a one-piece heavy-duty polypropylene body about 16-29/32 inches long. A loop handle keeps the hand clear of the blade, and a dual-notch tip presses stock down and against the fence while pushing it forward. TPR foot pads grip the workpiece to reduce vibration and slippage. It suits woodworkers who want a long-reach safety accessory for narrow rips and short offcuts; against short plastic push blocks it trades some downward pressure for reach and control.
