I've always been a fan of Izzy Swan- except that backwards hat phase. He's come up with another great idea.

Clever design, then I checked the price...$80. Still, I do like that better than the Micro Jig.

I use vertical and horizontal featherboards to control the path. And then I use a 40" push stick. Never get near the blade.

On my Microjig Gripper I often adjust the middle section to avoid the blade. Guessing this new option would just require some different planning to avoid contact. As I mentioned in another thread, I think the few seconds extra on setting up the Gripper is a good thing (for me) to fully think through the cut. I like the look of this, and Izzy does a great job showing the features. Wish it was a bit less $$.

Cool tool but I have the micro and another NIB I picked up at an estate sale. Will probably never use it.

Clever design and certainly offers some conveniences over the Micro-jig. That said, I invested in a couple Micro-jig 200's a few years back. They were on a really good sale. I'm like Barbara, what little extra time it takes to set them up allows me to envision the cut prior to making it thus giving me a higher degree of confidence.

I've found as I've aged, I'm not as confident as I once was, definitely not as flexible after the back and other surgeries the past 5 years so the Grippers help. Sadly, I haven't used my table saws much since the back surgery. Some of that downtime beyond recoveries has just been devoted to other project priorities.

I guess to sum it up, it's highly unlikely I'll invest in one of these given the satisfaction, but limited use with what I have with the Micro-jig Grippers. My only real complaint with them, the o-rings used to retain the threaded knobs deteriorate pretty quickly. Fortunately I have dozens of unused orings of the same size left over from my diesel fuel injection pump rebuild days to use as replacements; and they're at least 35 years old.

BTW, I wear a billed hat anytime I'm outside or working in the shop. Common sense tells you the bill always goes to the front except when you're wearing a welding helmet; then you reverse.

So….I certainly have the least experience of this group, so I wouldn’t listen to me :). I have two of the Micro jigs, If I remember correctly they were on a 50% off sale. The set up for them just seems intuitive to me. I have always felt safer when using them. Seems like 90 % of how they work is very similar, either will do the job. Now if I were using one all day long at work, my opinion could be different.
