in various sizes and shapes can be made from scrap wood.
The stick must always be narrower than the workpiece. If it
is toowide, it may jam on the rip fence or blade. When ripping
narrow stock, always use a push stick so your hand does
not come close to the saw blade.

used when making non-through cuts.
A simple push stick design is shown in Figure25. Remember
that the push stick must always be narrower than your
workpiece. You may want to make several push sticks of
varying widths.
