Hey! My name is Anthony Tackett and I make video reviews and demonstrations largely related to woodworking, 3D printing and every day carry. I'm no expert, but my videos are meant to inspire people like myself to get out in their shop and make something, regardless of the tools or technology they have.
I have been a woodworker for years but, a few years ago, I got my first 3D printer and am very interested in finding unique ways to use it as a tool in a wood shop. I plan to have future content on CNC machines and I also have a few random fishing videos in the works. Be sure to give the videos a thumbs up if you like my content and, as always, subscribe if you want to see more!

Is this the best fan for a wood shop? | NewAir WindPro18W WindPro18F Review
I have it but I don't know how to use it
How do you get the buttons to work? What does EH stands for? We can’t up or lower the settings. You totally bypassed this information
Can't imagine these would make much a difference.. but! Great video
Heat rises, why mount these in the door? Retractable power cord to me seems like trouble. Why not mount in between framing studs through wall above garage door??
If the battery is dead, you have to press both buttons to activate Boost Mode.
How was the hole saw too much trouble? Drill not beefy enough to spin it?
Which one is better, the 2000 or 4000 one for an suv?
I do not understand how this can be used on a table saw. The blade guard would get in the way- and you must NEVER move that.
What are you going to put on a shelf that's 2 inches below the TV?
Good question. At the time, I had a slim DVD player that I put on the shelf. Just that and the remote. Now, I have a small Roku soundbar that sits on it. I did have to raise the TV about an inch for that though, but that was fairly straightforward using the bracket I bought to hang it.
Why do single people who are not engaged wear them? They might have a boyfriend/girlfriend, but they aren't engaged. Does the thin black one have a significant meaning?
Thank you , I have 3 saws, gunk on all of them. My son will be coming soon to help remove a few fallen down branches. So having the right saws to get the job done, is a plus. Video helped a lot.
I need a replacement switch for a Tool Shop Rotary Tool
Just got mine today, I spend a lot of time doing home workouts and lifting... pretty cool and comfortable on my fingers.
How do I know if it's the right size? Should it go on and off easily? When sweaty will it come off?
Look like shit
I think it depends on what you are cutting. I have special feeder wheels, clamp on feather boards, push sticks, push handles and one of those Grr-rippers. And I use them all at different times. I think when you've been using your saw for a long time you just instinctively know which method will work best with the wood size you are cutting.
Don't agree. Over 50 years experience. Two stick method is asking for a kickback because of possible material lift. I know because it happened to me more than once. The J Heist style of one one the similar designs or the GRR-RIPPER is the way to go.
Just like you I used it a lot at first , but not anymore. I now use the push stick that came with my saw.
Push sticks can still allow kick back because the tip of the push stick is the only force holding down the stock - especially if it's a thin cut , therefore letting the momentum of the powerful blade forcing the piece backwards. Set up time for the "Gripper" is worh rhe safety.
Maybe just do the safest thing and remove any unnecessary junk from your fingers while you're working with tools that are itching for you to make a small mistake? A silicone band can just as easily get your finger yanked into a bad situation. No actual tradespeople or potential life-partnersa, in any discipline that I've ever trained in, has ever worn any sort of of visual accent on their most important tools (their hands, if that's not clear). I don't know about you, but there's not a lot of single, potential mates hanging around my shop looking for non-symbolized crafts-people to jump on. Or maybe get a ring finger tattoo if it's really important to advertise that you're officially off the market, like the lifetime vows suggest. Anything else is just frippery that has no place in a real shop.
What is the proper brushes for this machine?
I wear silicone band as well.
What type of screws did you used for mounting? I kind of want to use a color to match the iron pipe.
Great question! I'm probably going to get hate for this from a purist in the comments, but I just used drywall screws.😬 They were the only screws I had that most closely matched the pipe flange and I only have a small Roku sound bar and a switch dock sitting on the shelf. I haven't had any issues. I'm sure there are better options out there, but that's where I landed for this project.
Why can’t any of you posters give a db. #
YES, anything MicroJig makes is worth the money. I have two grippers and I use them on the table saw and router table. It's safe and they work.
What would cause this unit to freeze
The manual says that frost on the unit is normal, but it could possibly freeze up if the air temp is too low.
Will it pass HOA approval? Check first, or else it'll be one very expensive overlooked step if the HOA doesn't approve and you forgot to call them even if you couldn't find your HOA Rules n' Reg's handbook. There goes the vent, and the door. Check the regulations first. Good plan and it should work nicely, but like I said above, check the regulations first.
Yes this is a good call. We don’t live in a HOA, so I was good to install. 👍
Do they still make these?
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find them for a little while. I think the company was small and might have fallen victim to the pandemic.
Sorry but cutting into your garage door is beyond silly. First off it's visible from the street. Secondly power cables are going to be an issue, maybe not immediately but sooner or later. A thrfough wall solution or even tying something into the eve vents could have been done. Worse case, a bathroom exhaust fan plumbed up into a roof vent would have been a better solution.
No it’s not worth the expense. It’s like buying festool or sawstop or many other extremely overpriced tools
Why not install on the wall? The doors do not seem like a long term solution. Hope you never have to change them.
thank you for the nice video
I cut Lot of quarter inch material and had the cheap plastic push stick explode when it hit the blade now I use the gripper every time be careful
tools were important for me, thanks!
Where can i get one of those?
Hi Anthony: great, great video! Have you found that Danish Oil (once dried) will not leave a residue on clothing, etc.? I'm thinking of using it on a large Black Walnut Bench; which I'm finishing for my grandkids! Thank you (in advance) for your assistance! Warm regards!
Hey thanks! I haven’t personally used it for anything that I might sit on. I haven’t had any issues with anything sticking to the shelves I’ve made but, if I were going to create something that gets a lot of use/wear, I would probably add a few coats of polyurethane over the cured danish oil just to be safe. You could always to a smaller test piece to see what happens. Im sure that bench is expensive!
Looks so ugly :/
Shut up and do it! talk too much
No difference. The fans are to small to cool a garage.
Genius. I've been looking for a solution to prevent spilling my valuable Yuenglings. I think this is it.
I am so sorry to burst your bubble but I am in no way, shape or form to drill on a new 3k garage door. Thumbs down. All day
Admittedly, I'm a newbie woodworker, and safety is top-of-mind since I have little personal experience to rely on. Anthony, I came to the same conclusion about the gripper regarding hand-proximity to the blade. The gripper push block requires me to move my hand closer to the blade than the porter-cable-style push stick you demonstrated in your video. My Delta table saw came packaged with a push stick similar to your Porter Cable example. The Delta manual that came with my saw says when making push sticks, follow the included design, which ensures your hand will remain a safe distance from the blade. I see people run workpieces over the blade with the gripper, and their hand is mere inches from the blade. If the blade catches on the gripper, it seems likely the push block could twist sideways, and the blade could pull one's hand into it. Bottom line is the further my hand is from the blade, the better; and the long-handled push sticks keep my hand further away by design. When cutting a narrow workpiece, why not turn the board around, and run the narrow piece on the off-cut side of the blade? Narrow through-cuts between the blade and the fence will always carry extra risk of pinching and kickback.
That plastic thing is to expensive and make one better than than that I don’t know people are blind to expend money in micro gig 👎🥵
Do you have a video how to connect my windows 10 desktop to my cr-10 mini I am a complete new beginner Please help if you can
Ouch 😂 got to be a better way lol
I've had a grr-ripper for a few years, and haven't used it. I'm looking now thinking maybe I should. I use sticks like you do also. I recently remade a few of them as I'd cut them up enough so that the trailing hook was getting a bit torn up. I see your points. I do also use Board buddies for some cuts, and like them, but of course they can't really be used on those thin rips. I also love feather boards, and am trying to make a new one that will be able to use in my 1 1 /2" slot on my Oliver. (I like certain magnetic ones, but they don't work that well on my Oliver as the throat plate is so large that there is less space to place the magnets.... All in all, I'll keep looking. I LIKE the hook on the home made blocks, and the lack of that on the gripper bothers me a bit. I use the same pusher that you do for some jointer work, but I also make wide wooden ones with a simple 1/4 hook at the back that works very well. (I also have a stock feeder on one of my jointers that pulls from the out-feed table, I REALLY like that) I am going to keep experimenting. I've been cutting wood by myself with power machinery for over 60 years. Old habits are hard to change, but as I get older, I also need to make new habits.
I own one and am not impressed...at all. It's a constant pain in the arse to stop and adjust,, you can't see the blade so you have to guess (could have easily made that section clear so you can see it) and it still doesn't really do the job, especially on smaller pieces. Hard pass.
I’m a Field Tech that works in different factories on industrial ink jet printers. Many sites not allowed to wear jewelry due to safety rules. So I bought some cheap ones on Amazon and going to see if they are allowed. Also a friend of mine almost lost his finger when he fell off a ladder and ring snagged. It just seems the smart thing to do these days. I’m going to have to see how these rings react with acetone and MEK solvents which my hands are exposed to daily. I’m going to find out real quick if they hold up.
GREAT video, hand-held video works great for me, can you recomend and all metal .4 extruder?
Thanks for your video. I'm sure the gripper is a good product but I feel like you do that I won't use the microjig because my hand is too close to the blade so i will cintinue using my long wood homeade push sticks as I feel safer.
I love my finger and want to keep them for many years. Micro jig, just use it
