Push Block DIY CHALLENGE - Buy or make your own?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Should you buy a professional push block or make yourself a push block DIY? I’ll tell you the results of my test at the end of the video.
Is it worth the money buying one or can a shop-made DIY push block be just as good? I built lots of different push block designs and tested them in different settings. At the end, you get a clear recommendation if you should spend money on a push block or if you can just as well build your own DIY push block.

I explain the details in this video: • MY PARTNER COMPANIES -...
I want to let you know that I cooperate with a couple of tool companies. Occasionally, they provide me with some of their tools for me to use in the shop.
But: Whenever you see me using a tool it means that I like it and think it’s worth using. When I do a review, I tell you my honest opinion.
I want to be transparent about these partnerships, however, so that you’re not kept in the dark and can make up your own mind if you think I’m in fact unbiased or not.
My partner companies are: Bessey, Kreg, Maschinenhandel Meyer, Triton, Bosch Professional, PNZ Produkte (as of 08/2019)

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.
You’re welcome, Jared! Glad you like it.
Very comprehensive, thank you for doing the research. Your videos are always very clear and well presented!
Thank you - glad to hear it.
Thanks for taking the time to share appreciate the video have a blessed day
Thanks Tim!
i have a HUGE case of bandsaw envy!
😉
Thank You!
You’re welcome.
Thanks Andres for this clear information.
And nice that you wear Rob's T-Shirt.
I have the same t shirt
Thanks Jan. And yes: I think it’s important to support other makers this way.
Hi Andreas, sehr gutes Video👌🏻 Super das du auch die unterschiedlichen Anwendungen an der Bandsäge und der Hobelmachine mit einbringst. 👍🏻
Grüße Stefan
Vielen Dank für Dein Feedback, Stefan.
Dank für die Tipps, Andreas! Now it's time to build some push blocks myself, as I finally bought my band saw at Maschinenhandel Meyer. :-) Einen schönen Sonntag noch!
thanks Ricardo. Enjoy the new machine!
Nice to see you again. Was a long time, that you showed us your work.
Interesting results! Will remeber at the next diy-pushblocks :-) And YES: No metall in a pushblock!
Hope to see you again!
I have deleted many channels. Yours has survived :-)
Greeting aus dem Schwabenland.
Thanks for your kind words Alfred and for your long-standing and continued support!
Hi Andreas, thanks for the good info in this video.
You’re welcome. And thanks for watching.
@@holzhandwerk_ak By the way, thanks to your info in the video about the router table, now I've built one and I'm practicing in building some picture frame.
Hi Andreas, not seen you for a while, another good video. 👍🥃🏴
Thanks a lot Kenny!
Thanks for an interesting video! I made my own push blocks that I use mostly with my jointer. They have grippy material underneath (from a mouse mat). They work well but as you say, the grippy stuff does become contaminated by sawdust so will need to be replaced sometime.
Thanks. A mouse mat is a good idea as well.
Hi Andreas, I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for your work.
I really like your drill stand. Please can you put a link where to buy or any other info.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. About the drill stand, see here: kit.com/holzhandwerk_ak/my-drill-press-drill-mount
Great video. Love seeing Rob's Workshop shirt. They're still available on TeeSpring.NL I miss his channel. I think a combination of push blocks is best. The research & development and very functional materials make the Gripper thing at least close to how much it costs. I think it's probably the best kind of plastic for the job. I like a long two handle push block with a heel for jointing.
Thanks for your feedback!
Guten Morgen Andreas, super Video. Danke für 's zeigen 👍 👍 👍 Gruß Martin
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen Martin!
Sehr schöne Zusammenstellung. Danke dafür und besonderen Dank, dass du direkt sagst, woher du die Ideen hast. Ich ärgere mich immer, wenn jemand fremde Ideen für seine verkauft. An deinem Vorgehen können sich einige eine Scheibe abschneiden.
Gruß Sascha
Danke Sascha. Deine Rückmeldung freut mich sehr.
🤩
Great video Andreas! Bottom line: make your own push stick for the proper application out of scrap wood that you have lying around the shop. :)
Yes, Steve. That could be the summary. 😉
Hallo Andreas. Wirklich tolle Videos, die hier geboten werden.
Ich bin schon eine längere Zeit am tüfteln, wie die gts 10 sinnvoll abzusaugen ist. Hast du für die obere Absaugung einen separaten Sauger angeschlossen? Mit dem org. Bosch t Stück zur Spanhaube habe ich keine guten Erfahrungen, da Zuviel Saugkraft verloren geht.
Grüße aus Bremen
Hallo Kai. Ich habe keinen separaten Sauger und mache die selbe Erfahrung wie Du. Das Absaugen der GTS 10 ist nur mäßig erfolgreich.
Nice video, I miss Rob's videos. I don't see the downside of using the 80 grit sandpaper for everything. As long as you are in the machining/non-finished stage of woodworking I don't see the sandpaper doing any damage.
I sort of agree for unfinished surfaces. But even a sawed surface can be quite smooth and then the rubber grips better.
I don't know if you have to replace the rubbery surface when it gets dusty. It's probably enough to wash it off and it will be good again.
Yes, that might be enough. Thanks for your feedback, Martin.
Hallo Andreas,
super tolle Sache. Das Video hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Doch einiger Übersetzungsfehler von YT, konnte ich Dir doch sehr gut folgen.
Die Schiebelade für die Abrichthobelmaschine finde ich am besten. So eine Ähnliche habe ich auch. Meine stammt noch aus meiner Lehrzeit, wenn ich mich nicht irre.
Toll auch, dass du diese getestet hast.
Fetten Daumen hoch.
lg von meinem Kanal, Peter
Vielen Dank für die nette Rückmeldung, Peter! Freut mich sehr.
Hi..what was the rubber grip material did you use?
It’s called gripping material by 3M. See link in the description.
@@holzhandwerk_ak can u link me to your video again plss as i cannot find it..TYIA
muitto fixe
Hallo Andreas ich habe bei
One Minute Workbench eine Version mit Fahrradschlauch gesehen ua-cam.com/video/hm7_lXuxMCQ/v-deo.html. Wenn dein Gummi nicht mehr hält wäre das vielleicht auch eine Idee zum testen, bei mir funktioniert das bis jetzt recht gut. Beste Grüsse Urs
Danke für den Tipp, Urs!
