Work Safer. Work Smarter. - Навчання та стиль
I don't think there's any other tool company out there who has demonstrated their products to this level. The product is great and so is the support. Thanks MicroJig
I am always critical of the technical presentation of these shop gadgets but this fellow is spot on with this demonstration. No anxiou stuttering, false starts, and repeated words. He knows the tool inside and out and can walk and chew gum (and run the gadget) at the same time. Very well done. Those anticipating doing their own technical UA-cam Videos need to sit at this fellow's knee and learn a few things.
Darrow for the Prosecution watch the part where the oak is being resawn on the bandsaw, it’s not spot on.
I agree. He was smooth, on point and no words wasted
No problem assembling my Microjig. All the parts were in the bag and assembly was a piece of cake. Can't wait to put it to use later.
i actually watched this to make sure i knew how to use this properly thanks for making this video!
I was able to use my Microjig Avanced for the first time today on my table saw after watching this awesome video, and the level of control compared to using a push stick is night and day, anxiety levels dropped dramatically, too. Fantastic product, I'm ordering a second for longer pieces. And thanks for the video, super helpful on multiple levels and the host did a great job. Just got a router table, too, so seeing this in use on that made my day.
As others have said this is an awesome video and a great help to setting up the Grr-ripper and its accessories, far better than for me, than trying to follow instructions in a printed manual. The practical demonstrations create an appreciation of the Grr-ripper and its widespread potential use in the workshop. For me these explanations go a long way in justifying the cost of the Grr-ripper as you can begin to see how to use it to make work easier and safer across a number of woodwork machines. So many thanks to MicroJig for providing a brilliant educational video which I trust is a reflection of high quality customer service I can expect.
Thanks for a high quality instructional video. Clear, concise, well lit, good audio, no distracting background music, and just the right amount of light humor.
And that great 'mic drop' at 10:20
Best instructional video ever! Great job.
These grippers are truly awesome for cutting small pieces and definitely will add accuracy to your work.
À most complete video about the Gripper. I am saving it in my library! Very well made, the explanations are precise and to the point! Keep up the good work!
Damn, this video was amazing. Completely sold. Got one, and some additions!
I’m glad I watched this video..awesome job. I made first cut and very happy with it, especially since my saw predates those with riving knives.
Same, no riving knife or splitter. I wont cut without this tool.
I just got done putting my -100 and complete kits together. The packaging alone impressed me…the color codes for the bags, the fact that you gave us an extra washer for each type and that its soo easy to assemble. I love the o-rings…excellent idea and very helpful. I love you guys and Im so glad I bought these products. Thank you for your detail and thoughtfulness. Thanks for putting such a great video together as well.
We are delighted to hear this! Thank you.
Great instructional video! The instructor is great at teaching.
I am excited to start using the gripper. I bought one and will be buying another one later today. Thank you so much.
5+ stars
Awesome video. As someone just starting out, I wanted to watch as many videos on table saw safety as possible and the kickback vids started making me think twice about getting one. Seems to me this would be a no brainer and Im deff going to pick up a couple. Again, as someone just starting out, I have no idea if these are overpriced or not. After all I spent on my tools, to spend a couple hundred on protecting my fingers from getting chopped off doesn't seem bad. Going to start out with just two of them and hopefully the more I learn, I can find use for the accessories. Would like to make sure I need them first.
I love this tool, it does more than what a feather board and a push stick can provide. Had no problem putting this together. Agree it’s not cheap but for me it was worth the money. I purchased the 100 model.
It has been quite a while since you produced this, but it still has impact. I am 'relearning' my gripper and this was very helpful. thanks.
Got my Grr-Ripper Professional 3D Push Block System Advanced - GR200 today from Rutland's while they had it on offer & followed the assembly guide here! Very straight forward & even without using it i can tell its going to make life easier & safer using the table saw & band saw. Genius!! Just checked rutland's prices & glad i jumped on it & saved £20!! Wow!!
Well done video, compliments the instructions that were with the product. I am looking forward to a lifetime of table saw, router & joiner safety. The price was reasonable. Assembly of the grr-ripper was somewhat difficult with 9 fingers & 1 thumb.
One of the best instructional videos I have ever watched! Thanks
Excellent video - easy to understand and great information. My Gripper is on its way, I am glad I have this video for future reference.
Love the dry sense of humor! What a great product to boot!
Great presentation!
Thank you for the extra O-ring! One fell off my table and skittered away never to be seen again. And in general, the o-rings are a very thoughtful idea and speak to the quality of the product and the work that went into the design.
We appreciate that you recognize the thought that goes into what we do.
Newbie here to the table saw, was afraid of it. Just received two grippers and it is amazingly simple and I can keep pressure on the rail with little effort. Really love this product!
I’m a beginner and wanted to ensure as much safety as possible while using table saw. Purchased the GR100 and it was super easy to put together. Now I’m one step closer to making those cuts!
Clark, great to hear. The best value of the GRR-RIPPER is that you can enjoy your shop time more with less worry about your fingers.
Seen this in a few youtube videos and thought it was excellent. Ordered mine today. Should be here tomorrow.
Excellent Video. Great presentation.
lmfao!!! Try doing that with a Push Stick!! Best commentary line ever!! And delivered it with precision antagonism!! EPIC!!!
lol. no need for sawStop if you have a "pushing block/pad/shoe - Grr-Ripper" that could be marketable..
Excellent, precise, easy to understand video. Thank you so much.
Best install and demo video I've Ever Seen! I will be assembling mine tonite!
Just got a new table saw too which i've never used before and now i'm much more comfortable with the safety this offers!
Thanks...
Our pleasure! The real value of the GRR-RIPPER is that everything in your shop time is more enjoyable because you can feel confident in the safety of our GRR-RIPPER System.
Great video, the assembly portion is especially helpful.
Very good demo and well made product. I recently bought 2 and still learning best techniques. I'm finding it a little more difficult to accurately control longer stock than what I expected. Even while using kiln dried poplar without knots. Long half inch or less cuts 12" in length or more do not easily stay tight against the fence using the leap frog technique. Too much side pressure causes flex in fence on the average table saw. This isn't the microjig fault but unless you own a commercial saw you may have to clamp your fence down. Definitely a thumbs up for small stock.
Ben, if you are flexing the fence it is either: pretty poorly designed (typical for consumer products), or being improperly used.. - back-it-up with some steel angle ( or aluminium angle if easier) to stop it flexing... ( that is a metalwork job for you)
Outstanding Video! It was just what I needed. I was able to completely assemble it WITHOUT reading the manual; because the video walked me through each step. I spent some time in engineering plastic injection moldings, and this device is well thought out and top quality. Thanks again for a great product!
Glad to hear it helped!
I just got my GR-100 and GRR 1/8" accessory. Looking forward to using it to make beehive frame components- It'll be a lifesaver in more ways than one! Thanks for the great instructional and assembly video. Cheers!
Great to hear Gregory! Enjoy.
This tool ROCKS. The videos are critical as you get information overload. Ditto on the support
Thanks, Lefty! Our customers are our best sales team!
it is absolutely stable and does not rock back to back or side to side what do you mean ( i will see myself out now XD)
I have been looking at so many videos to answer some major questions I have about the grr-ripper and none of them have done anywhere near what your video has done to help me! Very well done!! Thank you!
Good to hear! You can always contact us directly at support@microjig.com and ask whatever you like.
@@Microjig Thank you, that's good to know!
This was very informative as a new woodworker (ran the table saw for the first time today) I am very happy to have one of these. Truth be told I ran the saw and did not feel safe. Remembered your product and went out and bought it.
Thank you, Bryan for the kind words. The biggest benefit of the GRR-RIPPER is that it makes our woodworking more enjoyable because we feel more safe and more confident using them.
Be sure to check out all of the instructional content we have on our channel here to get the most from your GRR-RIPPERs.
Awesome video, didn't know this tool was so versatile, just ordered two of them, thank you!
Thanks Mikey! You will love them. Be sure to join our email list, we have great new products coming soon!
Muito bom. Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos. Parabéns!
Great product. Less scared to use my table saw now.
I’m going to get this. Phenomenal presentation.
Excellent review. Watch a few others first but they left me with questions unanswered. Your review was top notch and I had no questions afterwards. Thank you.
Thank you. And if you do have questions in the future you can always call us directly at (855) 747-7233
I love my Gripper it has kept my fingers on my hands several times. Great for cutting narrow sttips
Perfect presentation. Clear, concise and funny. He’s a delight. Oh, and it’s actually a great product!
Great video. Easy to follow and has great info. Thanks
Nice demonstration. Now I have to buy a second one. Makes sense. Thanks
We always recommend two!
Just got one for Christmas. Love this thing!
Great to Hear!
I just bought 2 of these and a new 12 inch Freud combination blade and now installing a router insert at the end of my extension table.
You are loaded for bear! Enjoy!
Awesome video , not too much BS just great instructional information
Awesome tutorial 👌 Cool and knowledgeable presenter 👍👍.
Mine just arrived.... awesome safety tool!!!
Welcome to the MicroJig Team
Incredible just bought 1 here in south africa
I've always wanted to get rid of the junk which seems to gather on the table saw just like you did in one steady sweep of the arm, good show.
Don't worry, nobody noticed your fly down after a bathroom break starting around 19:40.
Seriously though, you speak very clearly, quickly, and succinctly and it was a pleasure watching a product instructional video so well laid out and presented. Bravo!
Gee Jason, I was concentrating on the GRR-RIPPER Pushblock. Missed that completely. Thanks for the heads up.
@@darrowfortheprosecution1404 .... People focus on whats important to them, sorry Jason, LOL
Lol I didn't notice that, but I did notice that it looks like something hit him in the nose at some point. No red mark on his nose at the beginning of the video. At about 14 minutes in I noticed it. Doesn't look like its in the right spot to just be a red mark from his safety glasses either.
I just bought a gripper 200. Haven't tried it yet but it's a good thing I seen this video. I might just get a second one for longer work pieces. That's why I bought it in the first place. Cutting 9/16 th by 1/2 inch strips. Good video to learn from. Had some problems with the O rings but all in all its a great item to have.
Robert, cutting long narrow strips is what the GRR-RIPPER excels at. And once you get used to using it, the process becomes much less stressful and more enjoyable.
The o-rings do require a bit if fuss during assembly, but they keep the hardware on the parts even when not being used, so they repay the effort every time you use your GRR-RIPPERs.
Fantastic product.
Just got the GR-200 with the 1/8th add-on. Used it tonight to cut down 1 inch rough stock to 3/4. Really easy and even more importantly extremely safe with the Grripper. In the short time I’ve been woodworking, I’ve come across useful tools, jigs and techniques to improve quality and safety. This is easily the best tool I’ve bought that improves both. Fantastic invention.
I also got the match fit dovetail clamps and will be building a tabletop with dovetail tracks. Another great invention that will make a number of things easier to do. In my opinion, this is one of the most innovative companies in woodworking today.
very useful to work with it.
Terrific presentation
Thank you!
Well done instructional video.
Five days ago I came across this video on the microjig GRR-RIPPER.I was impressed by the video and figured that this is the best insurance to keep all my fingers. I immediately contacted my supplier here in Australia and YES the GRR-RIPPER was available. I ordered two GRR-RIPPERS and they arrived today. They are very well made, to be expected from USA tool manufacturers. THANK YOU MICROJIG!.Well made, well packaged, great instructional manual.
We are thrilled to hear this, thank you!
Extremely helpful.
You saved so many fingers!
Darn i got one for Christmas and I thought i was doing good. So you need two?
love this tool!
About to start my woodworking journey and bought two last year....spring is right around the corner. Loved how informational this video was, thank you! I will definitely be coming back to it countless times to check how to use it until I'm well versed in all its functions.
I dont own a bandsaw but wondered how you pushed it with one across...best for two with that I'd imagine?
The tool is great, but this guy is awesome! I learned what I wanted in the first 3 min but finished watching the video for sheer entertainment. "Let's look at the 1/8 inch leg" (throws the other accessories on the floor). Hilarious.
I bought a cheap one from banggood and it is amazing and it arrived assembled ready to use
Best video ever
Brilliant! 👍
So here in Dubai it is very hard to find these high quality tools, I found the gribber on amazon.ae (was more expensive as expected) and after few months of thinking if I need it or not then I ordered one and Holly cow my work quality touched the sky never thought such a thing can improve my woodworking
thank you
Great presentation. I have a Grrripper and the only downside is that you cant use featherboards with it. I'm aware the tool can provide pressure against the fence but a featherboard is my preference.
MOST.EXCELLENT.PERIOD
btw love that shirt. Where did you get it ? Brand ? Link if you have it. thx
I just ordered the Micro Jig GRR-Ripper with 1/8'' Side Leg. Kind of pricey! I hope it is all it is advertised to be.
I just assembled it! More robust than I imagined. I really like it and am glad I purchased the Micro Jig GRR-Ripper. No doubt I will be purchasing a second Micro Jig GRR-Ripper to use in tandem with this one.
Kind of pricey! No. What is your thumb worth.
"Try doing that with a push stick." Throws the work piece with an incredulous look of why anybody would ever use push sticks ever again. Love it!! Thanks for the video and awesome product!!
Thank you, J!
Funniest instructional video ever 👍 can't wait to put mine together and start using it but waiting for Carbatec to get back to me about it. One of the legs has a chunk of the green grip material missing from one of the corners and I want to know if it's still safe to use. I sent them a photo and product is meant to be new.
Most excellent!
Thank you!
Very good video and very informative. Thanks for that. BTW, just thinking here but seems using two grippers each side of the band saw blade seems you’re pushing both grippers toward each other as you feed the stock it would pinch the material??
@Michael
Good question. Need answers/comments, especially by manufacturer.
I sure wish I had all those Powermatic machines.
I see a lot of comments complaining about the price. And I get it. We all (me included) don't have unlimited funds. Honestly though, if this is the safest way to use a table saw, is it really that expensive when it will last forever and significantly decreases your chance of getting hurt? I don't have a table saw yet but when I get one, I will be getting this product. The price is worth it to save my digits and perhaps more.
I’m sold, picking one up tomorrow
After contemplating the pros and cons of this product, I thought I'd get one and give it a shot. I bought the 200 model for $79. Get it out and start to put it together and %#$@^#% wrong screws in the blue bag. I looked at some reviews (wish I did that first) and apparently getting wrong/missing/broken parts in the box is a normal occurrence with this product. So, to answer Jeff Fisher's question of "Why can't it come assembled", I believe I have the answer.
Bought one today at a yard sale.....brand new GR200, still in box, unassembled. Original receipt with it showed it had been purchased in 2002 for $60, and has been sitting on a shelf until this yard sale. I got it for.......$5.00!!! Except for the color of the handle, it's exactly the same as the one shown here. I've used one in our community hobby shop and they are the best....happy to have my own now. Great instructional video, I picked up a couple pointers.
Stop lying. This tool didnt come out until 2010. 100% youre a liberal Biden Voter? Because all they do is lie
Excelente jig 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, Silvio
Put a little level on the top to make it quicker to set the level leg
i thought you were not suppose to stand right behind the blade?
Using two grippers each side of the band saw blade seems you’re pushing both grippers toward each other as you feed the stock it would pinch the blade??
I think that the 1000’s of table saw users who use normal push sticks/home made plush blocks are watching this and thinking what a load of fuss and how bloody expensive these things are.
Yeah, but all got 9 fingers.
Very nice professionally done video. Really enjoyed it.

I have a pair of GRR-RIPPERS, and also a Shark-Guard blade guard. The GRR-RIPPERS are cute, although without much gripping power, but I feel like dust collection and my lungs, are more of an immediate need, so they don't get used much. I wish there was a feature where you could use the G-R's along with a blade guard. Maybe something that would ride on my Biesmeyer fence with a piece that would go down the blade-side of the fence and push the wood.
good job
Great tools... I got two of them because they work so well with my table saw and router table. 29:03... I actually prefer to use the Grr-Rip Blocks for my jointer and not the Grr-Ripper. I find them easier to use without any extra setup and have more contact area.
That is why we make the GRR-RIP Block! I keep mine on my jointer as well.
But the GRR-RIPPER can be used on the jointer for those who do not own both.
The GRR-RIPPER can do everything the GRR-RIP Block does, but the GRR-RIP Block cannot make through cuts without damage.
Very nice
I just got mine (basic) last week recommended by Steve Ramsey from WWMM and I love it. Some people say you could make one of these but I really don't care. It's of extremely high quality and it helps tremendously. I wish I had taken the time to watch the videos but it was so fun to put together just looking at the book that comes with it that I didn't feel the need right away. I'm so glad I spent the money. Honestly, I should have gone ahead and gotten the 200 model for ten more dollars but it's ok. I'll be buying another one certainly later this year. Thank you MicroJig and thank you Steve Ramsey for making me feel more comfortable, safe and secure with my table saw.
I think the "you can make your own" angle misses an important second question: "At your current skill level, can you make something that does this just as well and just as safely?". Some might, some might not. This involves more moving parts and planning than making your own push sticks.
Personally, I'm not currently willing to put my fingers closer to the blade than I otherwise would, trusting in a design and materials that "looked good enough" to my less-experienced mind. So, just as I'm not willing to DIY my eye- and ear-pro and hope I've provided them good enough protection against the increased risk, I'd prefer to involve a company that's got more skin in the game in terms of product design, construction, and liability than a set of plans off the internet.
@@zerstorer335 exactly. I think we're on the same page. Plus it would take a really long time and I'd prefer to work on my own projects.
The “make your own” purists are just doing what they do on every video on every subject. Attempting to assert their superiority over us plebs who appreciate quality products. They didn’t get invited to the cool parties. Ignore them...
I injured 3 fingers two months ago and i'm still recovering and i have to say i'm really considering to get one, i was so stupid no thinking about it before the accident
Giacomo Battisti I’m having a hard time justifying buying one of these for $80, but I also really love my hands and fingers sooooooo 🤷🏻♂️ Lol.
@@mattfairfield9103 $80 is nothing for your finger safety, anyway it's all about using the riving knife
@@giacomobattisti7943 hope you recovered ok.
Fantastic video. However, I was hoping to see the use of the gripper with irregularly shaped stock on the tablesaw as well as resawing stock as those are the things that really make me nervous.
Here is a video I did on resawing at the table saw. This shows the GR-200 which has the Stabilizing Plate: ua-cam.com/video/zgQMjdOwIqI/v-deo.html
As far as irregular shaped stock, if the stock is flat but not rectangular, the GRR-RIPPER can ride the fence to provide a straight edge. This is for smaller parts. Larger parts, like trying to straight cut a live edge plank needs a different approach.

maplobats whattttt? Is there a way to buy a product *exactly* like this one without spending $80? Lol
@@mattfairfield9103 I'm sure if you already own a 3D printer and are good enough to design your own stuff, it wouldn't cost nearly $80. The question is if it's worth the effort.
