Push stick

Push stick [25] is a device used for safely pushing a work piece through the blade
instead of using your hands. They can be made from scrap wood in various sizes
and shapes to be used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the
work piece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end.
Use a push stick whenever the fence is 12 cm or less from the blade. push stick
should be used in place of the user's hand to guide the material between the fence
and blade. When using a push stick, the trailing end of the board must be square.
A push stick against an uneven end could slip off or push the work piece away
from the fence.
