Replace or resurface jointer push blocks

Joe Jensen All Messages By This Member #137231 I have a pair of Bench Dog push blocks I use with my jointer and I like them a lot. The foam pad no longer grips. ?They are. I longer available so I need to either replace with a suitable foam or get new blocks. ?Does anyone have a foam they have used or a strong recommendation on a different push block? ?I drop them off the jointer often so they need to be very durable.

Brett Wissel All Messages By This Member #137233 Make blocks you like out of wood scraps. spray glue some 120 or 220 grit sandpaper to the bottom. Or go pre-made and buy the drywall sanding blocks at your local home supply store, usually pre-backed with a foam rubber platen and you might even find the fine mesh abrasives adequate and easily replaced if the platen alone isn't good enough. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Aug 2, 2024 at 3:01?PM Joe Jensen via <joe=[email protected]> wrote: I have a pair of Bench Dog push blocks I use with my jointer and I like them a lot.

imran All Messages By This Member #137235 开云体育 I picked up couple of grout floats and they work great for me. You can test them on the lumber at the box store. They are bigger than typical push blocks made for jointers. Imran Malik toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Aug 2, 2024, at 4:17?PM, Brett Wissel via groups.io <Brettwissel@...> wrote: ?

John Hinman All Messages By This Member #137238 One of my boys gave me a pair of the MicroJig push blocks. I had always thought the MicroJig products were unnecessarily elaborate, but I actually love them. The little automatic drop-down hooks are really effective. My wife calls me “Gadget Guy”, and she is spot on! -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S and A941

Mike All Messages By This Member #137244 This material works well. Unfortunately, I forgot what it is. Maybe somebody recognizes it.
ebell3302 All Messages By This Member #137245 开云体育 I went to the plaster dept. in the big box store and bought a couple of plasterers floats. They are inexpensive and last much longer the stuff sold to woodworkers.
KRPatel All Messages By This Member #137246 I second using grout floats as they are perfect for the job...I use the Goldblatt grout floats for epoxy.
KRPatel All Messages By This Member #137281 Mike...that looks like a grout float.
