Keggers Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 This might not be an original idea, but it worked well for me. I finally wore out my push blocks that came with my original jointer. I wasn't getting much grip when I was pushing boards across the knives. I removed the left over rubber from the blocks using a sharp chisel. The original glue was a booger to get off, but I eventually removed it all by holding the blocks on my flat belt sander. I then took one of my old mouse pads from my office and traced around the blocks with a razor knife - cutting new bottoms from the mouse pad. A little 5 minute epoxy and I have new push blocks with plenty of grip. I used the blocks several hours this morning and there is no sign of the new pads coming off. I thought I'd pass this along in case anyone was interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I'll have to keep my eyes out for freebie mouse pads. I haven't used on in ages. But, great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
