Push Block

Upgrade your workshop safety and cutting precision with this Portable Push Block Woodworking Plan, a smart, durable alternative to standard push sticks. Designed for use on a table saw, this push block provides enhanced control and safety by keeping your hands well away from the blade while maintaining steady, even pressure on the workpiece. Unlike traditional push sticks that trail behind the cut, this ergonomic push block applies both forward and downward force, keeping boards stable and reducing chatter throughout the entire cut.

Built from simple 2x4 scrap and a hardboard heel, this push block features a replaceable body and heel, so you can refresh worn parts quickly and easily. It’s especially ideal for ripping thin stock or cutting narrow strips, minimizing the risk of kickback while offering reliable push-through power. The thoughtfully angled handle ensures a comfortable grip, making this a long-lasting, shop-essential accessory for any serious woodworker. With these step-by-step woodworking plans, you'll be ready to build a practical, safe, and customizable push block in no time.
