Don't be that guy. He clearly said "comfortable" and you changed his words to "safe". Those are very different words. You can never be too safe. Many people get too comfortable. I'd argue that you should never feel 100% comfortable with a table saw or an angle grinder.

Anyone make a jig like this before? $50 for a handle to move wood through a table saw seems high.

I'm all for 3D printing, but I'm not sure how much you'd save after the cost of filament (you probably want high infill), hardware, and electricity. That's not including your time printing or driving to get all of the other parts. I'm guessing you'd save on the order of $10 for what may be an inferior product.
I've had the Grrrriper for several years now and I use it any time I touch my table saw. It's extremely versatile.

If you don't feel like you can safely operate a given power tool perhaps don't use that power tool.

It was my first time using the table saw, you would be an idiot not to take proper precautions being as careful as possible. There are stories out there of people who have used the table saw hundreds of times that still get into accidents.

I think you're mistaken. This would cost under $10 to print in PLA with around 30% infill, which would be more than enough strength for this application. The other parts and time would not equate to another $40.

Ah, the way you said that it made you feel comfortable using the saw for the first time sounded like you'd used the saw many times before but hadn't felt comfortable.

I'm all for safety, don't get me wrong. Just don't think that the gripper somehow makes you immune to tablesaw accidents. 👍

Can someone help me understand why this push block is so popular when using it requires you to move your hand directly above the blade?

I get that it's better than pushing the stock through with your fingers, but you're still bringing your fingers within a few inches of the blade. Wouldn't it be safer to use a push block with a longer bed, or push sticks, so that you keep your fingers well away from the blade?

Depends on infill and other settings, but maybe a quarter of a 1kg spool, so like $5 of material if you use Inland PLA as a reference?

But can you really put a price on the frustration and time consumed printing something like this? Someone asked for an option for building it yourself, so I provided one. Not saying I advocate for it being the better solution. I ordered the microjig for many of the reasons @kaiger said above. There are a lot of reasons not to 3D print it.

Marketing, basically. They've convinced a lot of people that this thing makes people impervious to tablesaws. Kind of ironic, actually.

I see a $5 off coupon, but that still a bit more than $47.
I see the $5 off and an additional 5% cash back bonus if you are using the Amazon card.

Yes, people seem filled with confidence when they pick up one of these. Like the YouTube videos [youtu.be] of people using the narrow 1/8" pad on this to rip thin stock right up against the fence, there's hardly any surface to grip the wood and your fingers and wrist are directly above the blade.

Bought one a year back I really enjoy it. The plastic they use feels higher quality and the grippy rubber on the bottom works well. Makes odd or tighter cuts more comfortable.
